Android Gradle Protobufs: How to compile the full protobuf and not the "lite" version?

Every example I can find of configuring build.gradle to compile protobufs uses the "lite" version and looks something like this:

protobuf {
    protoc {
        artifact = 'com.google.protobuf:protoc:3.6.0'
    }
    plugins {
        javalite {
            artifact = 'com.google.protobuf:protoc-gen-javalite:3.0.0'
        }
    }
    generateProtoTasks {
        all().each { task ->
            task.builtins {
                remove java
            }
            task.plugins {
                javalite { }
            }
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java:3.6.0'
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:28.0.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.3'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2'
}

Note the "javalite". This results in generated java files that use MessageLite, but I need the full Message class.

How do I change this so that it does not generate the "lite" version?

Found the solution:

1) Remove this:

plugins {
    javalite {
        artifact = 'com.google.protobuf:protoc-gen-javalite:3.0.0'
    }
}

2) Remove this:

task.plugins {
    javalite { }
}

3) Change the task.builtins section to this:

task.builtins {
    java { }
}

It will now generate the full featured protobuffs.
