Thanks osuciu - I checked into protoc-jar. Unfortunately, it suffers from the same problem I'm currently having - it just wraps a call to the C version of protoc for windows, osx and linux and provides those binaries embedded in the jar. This would be fine except, as the OP pointed out, protoc on linux is not portable from one linux distro to another. The readme.md file is not even clear as to which linux distro the linux version targets. I'm looking for a true native java port of the protoc compiler. It's a pretty trivial compiler and the C source code is available. I guess I'll have to do it myself.
