In my previous post about Using off-heap memory in Java programs I showed how to set up a memory-mapped file. Now that we have a memory-mapped file, let’s write something to the file.

But in this post I’m going to use Protocol Buffers (AKA protobuf) for serialization, because why not? It will also give an opportunity to show how to automate the use of protobuf in your automated build using Gradle. ...
