Eclipse plugin for working with protobuf

Question

Protocol Buffers (protobuf) are a way of encoding structured data in an efficient yet extensible format.

There's plugin for Netbeans, but I cannot find one for Eclipse. Does it exist? If yes, please, share the link.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I recommend using Google's "Protocol Buffers Development Tools". It is a plugin for Eclipse that features automagic regeneration and error checking with quick fixes, among other things. It's available here: https://github.com/google/protobuf-dt/blob/master/README.md .

Answer 2

It does not seem to be approved by Eclipse yet.
And the EMF project uses protobuf, but not as a plugin.

So for now, no there do not seem to be any Eclipse protobuf plugin.
