Q: What versions of the gdata APIs are available?
A: Valid <versions> at this time are:
‘1.40.0-SNAPSHOT’
‘1.40.1-SNAPSHOT’
‘1.40.2-SNAPSHOT’
‘1.40.3-SNAPSHOT’
‘1.41.0-SNAPSHOT’
‘1.41.1-SNAPSHOT’

Q: What’s with the SNAPSHOTs?
A: Don’t worry – these are the final, released versions of the jars, as released by the Google Gdata APIs team. They are currently deployed as maven snapshots for testing purposes. Once I’m confident that the generated poms are correct & adequate, I will publish maven release versions, and these will be synced to the Maven central repository. Please send me your feedback, so I can make improvements. Better yet, fork the project & submit back patches.

Q: What’s with the weird groupId? com.github.dcarter.gdata-java-client
A: I can’t release under com.google.gdata (or similar), which is where this project really belongs. I got tired of waiting for the Google Gdata team to do it, and thought if I was going to go to the trouble to create the poms, then I should make them available to everyone else to use via this project.

Q: How do I use the deployed snapshot artifacts?
A: First, add dependencies to your pom.xml dependencies. Note that the generated poms included the inter-jar dependencies, so you don’t need to specify second-level (transitive) dependencies. In this example below, appropriate versions of gdata-client, gdata-core, and google-collect will also be included in the build as transitive dependencies.

 <dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.dcarter.gdata-java-client</groupId>
    <artifactId>gdata-calendar-2.0</artifactId>
    <version>1.41.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
  </dependency>

then, add the Sonatype Nexus snapshot repository to your pom.xml repositories:

 <repositories>
    <repository>
      <releases>
        <enabled>false</enabled>
        <checksumPolicy>fail</checksumPolicy>
      </releases>
      <snapshots>
        <enabled>true</enabled>
        <checksumPolicy>fail</checksumPolicy>
      </snapshots>
      <id>sonatype-nexus-snapshots</id>
      <name>Sonatype Nexus Snapshots</name>
      <url>http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>
