+"""Generate java source files from protobufs
+
+Usage:
+    protoc_java.py {protoc} {proto_path} {java_out} {stamp_file} {proto_files}
+
+This is a helper file for the genproto_java action in protoc_java.gypi.
+
+It performs the following steps:
+1. Deletes all old sources (ensures deleted classes are not part of new jars).
+2. Creates source directory.
+3. Generates Java files using protoc.
+4. Creates a new stamp file.

nit: lines 30-33 can be shortened to:

protoc_path, proto_path, java_out, stamp_file = argv[1:5]

[nyquist, 2012/10/31 23:14:20]

Done.

+  java_out = argv[3]

+  # Generate Java files using protoc

nit: you could inline this:

subprocess.call(
  [protoc_path, '--proto_path', proto_path, '--java_out', java_out]
  + proto_files)

[nyquist, 2012/10/31 23:14:20]

Done.

+                    '--proto_path', proto_path,
+                    '--java_out', java_out]

+  ret = subprocess.call(protoc_command)

+    return ret
+
+  # Create a new stamp file
+  with file(stamp_file, 'a'):

[Isaac (away), 2012/10/31 21:32:48]

nit, you could always return ret (delete lines 49/50 and change line 56)

if ret == 0:
  # Create a stamp file
  ...

return ret

[nyquist, 2012/10/31 23:14:20]

Done.
