A Facebook API client implemented in Java, derived from the poorly-maintained official Facebook client. The purpose of this project is to provide a high-quality, more up to date version of the Facebook API client for Java developers, and to allow it to be maintained regularly over time to maintain support as the Facebook Platform API changes and evolves. One of the most important goals for this project is that it be drop-in compatible for anyone using the "official" Facebook Java API client, insofar as is possible. Note that as the Facebook Platform changes, it may not be possible to retain direct compatibility with the official client library. For example, the Facebook Platform will soon be migrated to use 64-bit object id's, and this version of the client supports that. The official version of the client, however, still uses 32-bit id's, and thus is incompatible both with the Facebook Platform and this project in that regard. What this means in practice is that to migrate to this library you will have to update your code to use a Long wherever you were passing an object id as an Integer. The need to keep the Java client compatible with the latest changes made to the Facebook Platform is the only consideration that may override the goal of preserving drop-in compatibility with the official Facebook client (as in the above case, where changes to the platform will make the official client incompatible with it...there's no sense in being drop-in compatible with a client that won't even work properly).
