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.
I have tried protobuf-dt, that was the only plugin [on marketplace]. But it had some issues, so I created (November 2016) one that would fit protobuf and gRPC usage, that we have (generation inside maven build without waiting for issues to be solved)
