Add support for import keyword #186

Open sigiesec opened 6 years ago

sigiesec commented 6 years ago

The generator may assume that the imported files are already locally installed. Resolution of such dependencies against some package (Conan?) providing the referenced IDL files in some version must be addressed outside the generator.

Things that need to be done (at least):

Implement resolution of import declarations to a ResourceSet
Ensure that the generators only generate code for the declarations in the base IDL file, not in the imports
Add proper dependencies to the generated package management files

This has the following aspects:

[x] add support in C++ generator
[x] add support in .NET generator
[ ] add support in Java generator
[ ] add integration test case

Partial support is implemented in 0.6.0 (for C++ and .NET).
