Package protos into jar and pubish?

[andrewsmartin]

We have some JVM code that uses schema.proto to parse out and process annotations of a tfrecord dataset, and currently we have to copy the proto into our project and periodically check upstream for changes which is definitely not ideal. Would it be possible to package these into a jar and publish?

I am glad you are using this, and we definitely can add Java support. We don't yet have a way to sync external pull requests with our internal code (the external code is generated from an internal Google3 version). Is the core need a Java jar package?

Hi @mzinkevi, thanks for responding! Yes, a jar package published somewhere (maven central?) would be great.

Hey @mzinkevi, just wanted to check and see if there are any updates on this.

I have created an internal Google bug and will try to get this done soon (probably after Dev Summit). I need to check on how Google publishes to jar.

+1 A jar we can depend on would be 💯
