New issue 353 by bobbymar...@gmail.com: For widespread adoption, site
should provide official java jar download
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=353
I wanted to submit this as an enhancement (although I think it is important
enough that it is essentially a bug), but I don't see the option.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Download any of the official protobuf distribution files, e.g.
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/downloads/detail?name=protobuf-2.4.1.tar.gz&can=2&q=
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected to find a java jar file that I can just add as a build
dependency to let me start using protobuf.
Instead I have to:
* dig around through documentation until I find java/README.txt
* build C++ code
* run some custom build commands by hand
** (some of which are not precisely specified, e.g. "Compile the code by
whatever means you prefer")
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.4.1 on Windows 7
Please provide any additional information below.
I love the idea of Protocol Buffers, and I will be using it anyway.
However, I want protobuf to stick around (in particular, on java) for the
long run. This project has been around long enough to provide a convenient
distribution for the major platforms and languages on which it runs.
Thanks for the great idea & excellent execution!
