schema-parent-pom

This a parent pom for schema projects.

This parent pom implements the following:

• Compose data models using maven dependency framework. Use the maven to re-use, version, release and publish avro data models. (test-schema -> test-schema-common)

• Validate avro schemas:

  • documentation.
  • naming.
  • compatibility with previously released versions. (to avoid production issues like)
  • extensible.

• Add a unique ID to the schemas (mvnId = "group:artifact:version:id")

• Easy to use, flexible resolvers to resolve schema IDs (pick the one that fits your dependencies best): jaxrs based or aether based

• Generate and publish java classes along with javadoc. (publishing for other languages can se set up) (@Imutable support, @Nullable/@Nonnull) see

• Generate package and publish the avro schemas, see.

• Generate and publish avrodoc, see for maven repo publish or for gh-pages doc publish.
