Allow Providing Parameters to Built in Plugin

[bfmyr4]

I would like to be able to provide a command line parameter to the build-in csharp plugin (--csharp_opt=base_namespace=Com). Allow <plugInParameter> tag to be able to pass an argument to protoc.

Example:

I must be missing something. I just want to use the built in compile-csharp goal. Something like this doesn't seem to work. Example:

<plugin>
<groupId>org.xolstice.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>protobuf-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.6.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>java</id>
<goals>
<goal>compile</goal>
<goal>test-compile</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>csharp</id>
<goals>
<goal>compile-csharp</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<pluginParameter>--csharp_opt=base_namespace=Com</pluginParameter>
<protocArtifact>com.google.protobuf:protoc:3.7.1:exe:${os.detected.classifier}</protocArtifact>
<attachProtoSources>false</attachProtoSources>
<useArgumentFile>true</useArgumentFile>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<protocArtifact>com.google.protobuf:protoc:3.7.1:exe:${os.detected.classifier}</protocArtifact>
<attachProtoSources>false</attachProtoSources>
<useArgumentFile>true</useArgumentFile>
</configuration>
</plugin>

Reference documentation:

Looks like there are at least two different ways of supplying options to built-in protoc plugins, and this one has never been supported in maven plugin.

Same problem here I try to use another plugin which would require --doc_opt=markdown,docs.md

@bfmyr4 @sergei-ivanov did you found a workaround in the mid time ?

Thank you
