Modern Flickr API for Java

Question

Is there any Java API for Flickr out there that is more modern than the existing ones?

• flickrj
  • contains full set of API methods
  • API usage tedious, no generics, type safe values, etc.
  • no updates in two years
  • no up-to-date version in maven central
• jickr
  • unmaintained, incomplete, alpha

Also, as far as I can see, all of them are missing updates and are also not (with the most current version) available via maven central.

Answer 1

I think you'll find that if you just get started making the calls yourself, you will end up with your own version of a framework that works just as well. This is what happened to me, although I did reference some of the code from flickrj to help me with some basic things, but after time, I ended up with my own portable library that worked excellently.
