Add bazel support for examples.

The example utilizes native bazel rules (proto_library, cc_proto_library,
java_proto_library, java_lite_proto_library) to show how easy it is to
build protobuf with bazel's native support. It also makes use of well
known types which was not possible until the latest bazel 0.5.4 release
and https://github.com/google/protobuf/pull/3594 .

Usage
-----
The best way to learn how to use protobuf is to follow the tutorials in our
developer guide:
https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/tutorials
If you want to learn from code examples, take a look at the examples in the

# include protobuf repo as remote repositories in your WORKSPACE file. See
# the WORKSPACE file in the same directory with this BUILD file for an
# example.
# For each .proto file, a proto_library target should be defined. This target
# is not bound to any particular language. Instead, it defines the dependency
# graph of the .proto files (i.e., proto imports) and serves as the provider
# of .proto source files to the protocol compiler.
#

# Protocol Buffers - Code Example
This directory contains example code that uses Protocol Buffers to manage an
address book. Two programs are provided for each supported language. The
add_person example adds a new person to an address book, prompting the user to
input the person's information. The list_people example lists people already in
the address book. The examples use the exact same format in all three languages,
so you can, for example, use add_person_java to create an address book and then
use list_people_python to read it.
These examples are part of the Protocol Buffers tutorial, located at:
https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/tutorials
## Build the example using bazel
The example requires bazel 0.5.4 or newer to build. You can download/install
the latest version of bazel from bazel's release page:
https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases
Once you have bazel installed, simply run the following command in this examples
directory to build the code:
$ bazel build :all
Then you can run the built binary:
$ bazel-bin/add_person_cpp addressbook.data
To use protobuf in your own bazel project, please follow instructions in the
[BUILD](BUILD) file and [WORKSPACE](WORKSPACE) file.
## Build the example using make
You must install the protobuf package before you can build it using make. The
minimum requirement is to install protocol compiler (i.e., the protoc binary)
and the protobuf runtime for the language you want to build.
You can simply run "make" to build the example for all languages (except for
Go). However, since different language has different installation requirement,
it will likely fail. It's better to follow individual instrutions below to
build only the language you are interested in.
### C++
You can follow instructions in [../src/README.md](../src/README.md) to install
protoc and protobuf C++ runtime from source.
Then run "make cpp" in this examples directory to build the C++ example. It
will create two executables: add_person_cpp and list_people_cpp. These programs
simply take an address book file as their parameter. The add_person_cpp
programs will create the file if it doesn't already exist.
To run the examples:
$ ./add_person_cpp addressbook.data
$ ./list_people_cpp addressbook.data
Note that on some platforms you may have to edit the Makefile and remove
"-lpthread" from the linker commands (perhaps replacing it with something else).
We didn't do this automatically because we wanted to keep the example simple.
### Python
Follow instructions in [../README.md](../README.md) to install protoc and then
follow [../python/README.md](../python/README.md) to install protobuf python
runtime from source. You can also install python runtime using pip:
$ pip install protobuf
Make sure the runtime version is the same as protoc binary, or it may not work.
After you have install both protoc and python runtime, run "make python" to
build two executables (shell scripts actually): add_person_python and
list_people_python. They work the same way as the C++ executables.
### Java
Follow instructions in [../README.md](../README.md) to install protoc and then
download protobuf Java runtime .jar file from maven:
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.google.protobuf/protobuf-java
Then run the following:
$ export CLASSPATH=/path/to/protobuf-java-[version].jar
$ make java
This will create the add_person_java/list_people_java executables (shell
scripts) and can be used to create/display an address book data file.
### Go
The Go example requires a plugin to the protocol buffer compiler, so it is not
build with all the other examples. See:
https://github.com/golang/protobuf
for more information about Go protocol buffer support.
First, install the Protocol Buffers compiler (protoc).
Then, install the Go Protocol Buffers plugin ($GOPATH/bin must be in your $PATH
for protoc to find it):
go get github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go
Build the Go samples in this directory with "make go". This creates the
following executable files in the current directory:
add_person_go list_people_go
To run the example:
./add_person_go addressbook.data
to add a person to the protocol buffer encoded file addressbook.data. The file
is created if it does not exist. To view the data, run:
./list_people_go addressbook.data
Observe that the C++, Python, and Java examples in this directory run in a
similar way and can view/modify files created by the Go example and vice
versa.
This directory contains example code that uses Protocol Buffers to manage an
address book. Two programs are provided, each with three different
implementations, one written in each of C++, Java, and Python. The add_person
example adds a new person to an address book, prompting the user to input
the person's information. The list_people example lists people already in the
address book. The examples use the exact same format in all three languages,
so you can, for example, use add_person_java to create an address book and then
use list_people_python to read it.
You must install the protobuf package before you can build these.
To build all the examples (on a unix-like system), simply run "make". This
creates the following executable files in the current directory:
add_person_cpp list_people_cpp
add_person_java list_people_java
add_person_python list_people_python
If you only want to compile examples in one language, use "make cpp"*,
"make java", or "make python".
All of these programs simply take an address book file as their parameter.
The add_person programs will create the file if it doesn't already exist.
These examples are part of the Protocol Buffers tutorial, located at:
https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/tutorials
* Note that on some platforms you may have to edit the Makefile and remove
"-lpthread" from the linker commands (perhaps replacing it with something else).
We didn't do this automatically because we wanted to keep the example simple.
## Java ##
protobuf-java-*.jar can be generated by:
cd ../java
mvn package
and will be used by "make java"
## Go ##
The Go example requires a plugin to the protocol buffer compiler, so it is not
build with all the other examples. See:
https://github.com/golang/protobuf
for more information about Go protocol buffer support.
First, install the Protocol Buffers compiler (protoc).

is created if it does not exist. To view the data, run:
./list_people_go addressbook.data
Observe that the C++, Python, and Java examples in this directory run in a
similar way and can view/modify files created by the Go example and vice
versa.
