I'm looking for maintainers of this project. I'm not actively working on sbt or Avro, and I won't be able to review pull-requests or fix bugs.

If you're interested in taking over this project, please create an issue.

sbt-avro is a plugin for sbt-0.13.0 (and 0.12.1) for generating the Java sources for Avro schemas and protocols.

Add the plugin according to the sbt documentation.

For instance, add the following lines to the file hello/project/build.sbt in your project directory:

resolvers += "sbt-plugin-releases" at "http://repo.scala-sbt.org/scalasbt/sbt-plugin-releases"

addSbtPlugin("com.cavorite" % "sbt-avro" % "0.3.2")

To activate the plugin, import its settings by adding the following lines to your hello/build.sbt file:

seq( sbtavro.SbtAvro.avroSettings : _*)

All settings and tasks are in the avro scope. If you want to execute the generate task directly, just run avro:generate.

For example, if you want to change the Java type of the string elements in the schema, you can add the following lines to your build.sbt file:

seq( sbtavro.SbtAvro.avroSettings : _*)

(stringType in avroConfig) := "String"

sbt-avro is maintained by Juan Manuel Caicedo. I wrote it based on sbt-protobuf (even this README file!). This is my first attempt to write an sbt plugin, so feel free to send your comments and bug reports.
