Example of how to use existing proto types

[billonahill]

I'm trying to create a DynamicSchema that includes an existing proto message type that has been previously defined, compiled and included in my classpath. Could you show how to do that?

DynamicSchema is actually used as alternative to compiled protoc-generated types. You would obtain dynamic type builders (not generated ones) and build DynamicMessage objects:
https://github.com/os72/protobuf-dynamic/blob/master/src/test/java/com/github/os72/protobuf/dynamic/DynamicSchemaTest.java#L34

But you could compile your protos into a schema descriptor, include that in classpath, and create a DynamicSchema from that:
https://github.com/os72/protobuf-dynamic/blob/master/src/test/java/com/github/os72/protobuf/dynamic/DynamicSchemaTest.java#L254

Does this help? (I'm not quite sure what your usecase is)
