Introduction

As of May 2008, Facebook has discontinued any support of their official Java client, directing users interested developing Facebook applications in Java to use one of the various third-party clients out there. As such, the purpose of this project is now to maintain, support, and extend the abandoned code base to provide a high-quality, up to date version of the Facebook API client for Java developers, and to keep the Java client up to date as the Facebook Platform API changes and evolves.

Releases

We are starting to support distributing our project through a Maven repository. So if you use Maven or Ivy or some compatible build tool, please read about the available repositories at: MavenSupport

We will be updating the wiki page with the latest Release information too: Releases

Examples

The current examples that we have (sorry they are a bit dated) are at the wiki, Examples.

Mark is leading an effort to port Facebook's PHP example application, TheRunAround, to Java.
