Support for generating documentation via protoc-gen-doc #39

Open phiros opened 6 years ago

phiros commented 6 years ago

When protoc is called with the --doc_out flag it calls protoc-gen-doc in order to generate documentation for supplied protobuf files. This fails on systems where protoc-gen-doc is not installed. Therefore, it would be really useful (and convenient) if protoc-jar would come bundled with this binary.

I don't think we would start bundling plugins, but we could make them auto-downloadable (from maven central) just like the main protoc binary

How does your protoc-jar invocation currently look (cmd line)?
