How do I write Facebook apps in Java?

Question

I have looked in vain for a good example or starting point to write a java based facebook application... I was hoping that someone here would know of one. As well, I hear that facebook will no longer support their java API is this true and if yes does that mean that we should no longer use java to write facebook apps??

Answer 1

There's a community project which is intended to keep the Facebook Java API up to date, using the old official Facebook code as a starting point.

You can find it here along with a Getting Started guide and a few bits of sample code.
