Convert Java POJO's to Protobuf with super hacky regexes

What this project is able to do today:

• Convert simple Java POJO's to proto, for example:

given a Java source file:

package com.foo.a

import java.io.Serializable;

public class A extends B implements Serializable {

    public A() {
    }

    public A(String aa, String bb, String cc, String dd, boolean ee) {
        this.aa = aa;
        this.bb = bb;
        this.cc = cc;
        this.dd = dd;
        this.ee = ee;
    }

}

protoform will generate

syntax = "proto3";
package smartlabel;

message message {
	string aa = 1;
	string bb = 2;
	string cc = 3;
	string dd = 4;
	bool ee = 5;
}

Building

$ make build

Usage

$ ./protoform --in-file="$SOME_JAVA_FILE"
Will take the java file and spit out the resulting proto in the working directory

$ ./protoform --in-file="$SOME_JAVA_FILE" --out-file=proto
Will take the java file and spit out the resulting proto in the directory proto/

$ ./protoform --in-file="$SOME_JAVA_FILE" --out-file=proto --package="$SOME_PACKAGE"
Will take the java file and spit out the resulting proto in the directory proto/"$SOME_PACKAGE"

Current Limitations

• Map Types are not fully supported and in most cases will not parse correctly
• Unable to follow inheritance Trees
• Does not generate imports for files with user created data types
• It is likely there are types that exist which are not supported

With the above limitations in mind I will gladly accept PR's / help with refactors/cleanups/better handling of specific cases.
