Description

I would like another way to define entities for ObjectBox instead of using annotations. This can be useful if someone is using ProtocolBuffers to generate files.
I've considered to use ProtocolBuffers classes as DTOs and create another class to use Object Box.

Research direction

The issue names no files, entry points, or tests. Start by clarifying how ProtocolBuffers-generated classes should define ObjectBox entities, including whether they replace annotations or are used alongside DTOs; done requires an agreed API and corresponding support and tests.
