No builder for FileDescriptorSet proto

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a project
2. Open the builders dialog - observe that there are options for C, Java, 
Python but not for FileDescriptorSet
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Available builder for FileDescriptorSet proto files

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0.0

Please provide any additional information below.

I'm not familiar with FileDescriptorSet as output of protoc. I tried Googling 
it and couldn't find anything useful. Can you please explain (or paste a link 
that explains) how to configure protoc to do this? 

Thanks!

protoc supports the option

  -oFILE,                     Writes a FileDescriptorSet (a protocol buffer,
    --descriptor_set_out=FILE defined in descriptor.proto) containing all of
                              the input files to FILE.

Which creates a FileDescriptorSet protocol buffer which can then be read in and 
used for dynamic message processing.

There is one compiler flag to indicate whether to include imports or not

 --include_imports           When using --descriptor_set_out, also include
                             all dependencies of the input files in the
                             set, so that the set is self-contained.

The output of the operation is a single file containing the specified 
FileDescriptor protocol buffers as a FileDescriptorSet protocol buffer.

Here is an example call being made from ant...

[echo] Generating FileDescriptor for 'descriptor.proto'
[echo] Calling 'protoc.exe -I=./proto 
--descriptor_set_out=gen-fdp/descriptor.proto.fds ./proto/descriptor.proto'

The only variations from the other build options are really the 
--descriptor_set_out=<filename> and --include_imports

protoc.exe -I=./proto --descriptor_set_out=gen-fdp/descriptor.proto.fds  
--include_imports ./proto/descriptor.proto

I've attached example output from protoc 2.4.0 for descriptor.proto

Started work on this.  I use the extension "fds" for descriptor set... does 
something else make more sense?

fds = FileDescriptorSet (the top level proto in the file)
pds? = Protobuf Descriptor Set

Does anyone know of a common file extensions used for descriptor sets... or 
even just protobuf data in general that is more appropriate?

What is the best way for me to deliver the changes?  There are a significant 
number of modified files to add the builder for Descriptor Set) and a few new 
source files.

Previously I've just zipped up all the updated files... but is there a 
different preferred way?

No tests added - I didn't see any applicable tests for the other builders... 
correct me if I should create one or more test cases for the new builder.

Based off a pull from 'master' earlier today.  I see there is another branch 
for work on referenced options.  If the files are much different for the 
builders there let me know and I'll merge this into that first.

Just checked this against the updated source for the upcoming 1.0.10 release 
and there are no conflicts - should be easy to merge this for 1.0.11

Used the eclipse "wompare with" feature on the modified folders...
