Hi,

I am getting the following problem when trying to install your plugin.

Trying to install Avroclipse via the Update Site URL resulted in the following error:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

According to AVRO spec, any referent to a type may include annotations. At least, I am sure this is the case with the @Java-class annotation for stringables (and the @java-key for stringable keys in maps)
That is, this should be valid AVDL:
union{null, @java-key-class("java.net.URI") map< @java-class("String") string>} UserBank = null
but it is not allowed by current version of Avroclipse, as the parser only allows bare type definitions here:

Hello,

I wanted to try avroclipse. Unfortunately http://dvdkruk.github.io does not exist. So you can't install form the update site nor from the marketplace.

Cheers,

In Xtext version 2.9 and higher, support for IntelliJ IDEA is added. By moving to a newer version of Xtext, we can utilize this support to make a IntelliJ IDEA version of Avrolipse. This issue consists of the following tasks:

1. Update to the newest version of Xtext.
2. Implement IntelliJ IDEA specific code.
3. Release a version of Avroclipse to the IntelliJ IDEA Plugin Repository

It appears that logical types are not supported, as in this example:

record MyRecord {
  decimal(9,2) my_decimal;
}

The syntax highlighter gives errors on this.

The following snippet gives formatting error, but can be parsed by the avro-tools:

@namespace("test")
protocol TestInterface {
	
	@const("true")
	string getName();
}

(Originally a comment to #16)
In the example I provided, the java-key-class annotation is now correctly parsed, but the parser now fails if I create a union with more than one annotation in the same type. when it reaches the annotation within the map definition. Despite what it may seem, this is not a specially contrived example:
union{null, @java-key-class("java.net.URI") @java-element-class("String") map<string>}UserBank = null;// keys are URIs
This is valid avro (and is not a specially contrived example but a real one to create a nullable map from URIs to strings), but is considered wrong by the editor.
After reading AVRO IDL grammar (written in JavaCC, yet easy to understand for anyone who has ever written a parser, you can just ignore the first initialization block within each production rule), you can notice that: Union definition, Map type definition, etc. all refer to the same rule within, that of a Type, which can include one or more schema properties (i.e. annotations)

The current grammar of Avroclipse does not support AVRO-legal more than one annotation in union types.

The current pojo generator, which supports Avro reflect and Jackson doesn't generate code for types of arrays and maps in unions.

TODO:
Extends the avroclipse.generator.java project so that is generate java code for avro idl desciptions with arrays and maps nested in unions.

File:
avroclipse/avroclipse.generator.java/src/avroclipse/generator/java/JavaWithAnnotationsGenerator.xtend

Hi,

I am getting an error in the avro editor when I have a union with an array as below:

@namespace("comms.avro.messages")

protocol MessageInterface {

record TestUnion {
union { null, string} field0 = null;
union {null, array} field1 = null; // this gives me an error.

}

}

When you format the code (ctrl+shift+f) annotations are formatted with a lot of spaces. This should be compacter and nicer. For example:
@ namespace ( "some.namespace" )
should be formatted as:
@namespace("some.namespace")

Hello,

The avpr generator fails when the project is not in the default location of the workspace (create from existing directory)

When you install Avroclipse using the marketplace, it gives you the option to install the Avroclipse SDK Feature, avroclipse.generator.avpr & avroclipse.generator.java. The Avroclipse SDK Feature is selected by default, but the generator plugins are optional. If you only select the Avroclipse SDK Feature and continue the installation, it actually installs the SDK and both the generator plugins. The result should actually be that only the Avroclipse SDK Feature is installed.

Hi,

The editor highlights the import idl syntax, but it does not take the contents of the imports, thus whatever i defined in that file are not reflected in my current avdl, thus the syntax error.

Thanks
Shannon

Hi

Installed this excellent plugin, but when I opened some IDLs i got errors saying that "_ - &" are not allowed in namespace names. I cannot find any confirmation of this in the specification and running the compiler from command line does not generate any warnings or errors with the same IDLs. Why is this restriction in the plugin?
