TumblrJ progress
The project infrastructure is all in place and most Tumblr post types can be read out using a couple lines of code.
The test cases include examples on how to use the api directly and others that use it through Spring.
The code has no dependencies on Spring so it’s up to you.
Quick reminder that the code is here. There is no downloadable version yet, but there is a JAR in the source code which can be used directly.
Obvious future plans include:
- Add write possibilities
- Finish the authentication part
- Proper logging
- Proper error handling

Hey Mike!
Why is this project needed? What kind of applications can come out of it?

Hey JF,
There’s currently no Java api to talk for Tumblr. Granted there is an XML api, but there’s nothing to abstract that for Java.
One example that comes to mind is someone wanting to write a Tumblr widget/app for Android. This would simplify the implementation of the app in a huge way (no screwing around with xml serialize and deserialize).

Gotcha. Very cool. I assume that a Blackberry app or any J2ME would be able to leverage this?

Most likely. I’m not much of a J2ME guy, but I figure it would work … although I do use a few of the apache commons projects, so I’m not sure all those would comply.
