+"""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.
