TextAmerica4J 1.0 Available
« IntelliJ VCS Cache To The Rescue | Main | TextAmerica4J updates »Is it really that hard to release software these days starting at version 1.0? Hell no! And thus we have the latest in the spawn of blojsom projects.
TextAmerica4J. It's a Java API for interacting with the TextAmerica moblog service. Their XML-RPC API is discussed on their API page.
UPDATE: See end of entry for download links.
Dependencies: Apache's XML-RPC library. I've bundled the one used with blojsom since I've already made the correct changes there for handling data in UTF-8.
You want the source code? Give me a day before I release the source code. I want to update the javadocs. I also want to see if I can enter this API and win one of the slots in their developer's contest. I didn't find any other Java APIs for interacting with TextAmerica from Googling, so this may be the first. If I win one of the $500 prizes, I'm going to donate the entire prize to a charitable organization.
Here is the textamerica4j moblog. Yeah, that photo was uploaded using the TextAmerica4J.entryUpdate method.
Maybe they'd hire me and I could get in on the photo sharing service buyout VC money bandwagon!
Either way, enjoy folks!
Oh, I should also mention that Mark is working on TextAmerica4R, a Ruby API for interacting with TextAmerica. Here is the textamerica4r moblog.
TextAmerica4J is now available on SourceForge. Javadocs.
