This repot demonstrates how to read and load protobuf definitions at run-time using protobuf descriptors in Java

How to run using custom descriptor files

• Generate protobuf descriptor-set file of your .proto files using prtobuf compilers using following command:
  protoc -I=\path\to\proto-files\ --descriptor_set_out=\path\to\output-file.proto input_file1.proto [input_file2.proto ...]

• copy the generated descriptor file in the resources folder

• Generate jar package usign: mvn clean package command.

• execute the jar file by providing descriptor file name in the argument:
  java -jar file-descriptor-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies descriptor-file-name.proto
