GData java client still uses long-deprecated google-collect jar #344

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It is very dangerous to use google-collect.jar, as if a user ends up with that 
and guava on her classpath at the same time, very unpredictable and strange 
errors can result.

google-collect has been officially deprecated for a year now, but Guava is a 
full-compatible superset of its functionality.

Agree, this cost me a couple hours of time.

And now with the release of guava 11 we hit on NoSuchMethodErrors:

guava 11 has removed:

- public static <E> ImmutableSet<E> of(E[] elements)

See 
http://docs.guava-libraries.googlecode.com/git-history/v11.0/jdiff/changes/com.g
oogle.common.collect.ImmutableSet.html

A method that is used in:

- com/google/gdata/wireformats/AltFormat.java

See 
http://code.google.com/p/gdata-java-client/source/browse/trunk/java/src/com/goog
le/gdata/wireformats/AltFormat.java#399

Which leads to an exception like this:
                              Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.google.common.collect.ImmutableSet.of([Ljava/lang/Object;)Lcom/google/common/collect/ImmutableSet;
                                at com.google.gdata.wireformats.AltFormat$Builder.setAcceptableTypes(AltFormat.java:399)
                                at com.google.gdata.wireformats.AltFormat$Builder.setAcceptableXmlTypes(AltFormat.java:387)
                                at com.google.gdata.wireformats.AltFormat.<clinit>(AltFormat.java:49)
                                at com.google.gdata.client.Service.<clinit>(Service.java:558)

Actually it makes me wonder, since the current gdata download package shows 
"google-collect-1.0-rc1.jar" as dependency in the deps folder, but the google 
collection "rc1" had no method ImmutableSet.of(E[] elements). 

See 
http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/com.google.collections/google-co
llections/1.0-rc1/com/google/common/collect/ImmutableSet.java?av=f

So i guess, the developers use internally an (now older) version of guava? And 
will probably hit the same problem as well, if they change to guava 11?

Solution is by the way to change to ImmutableSet.copyOf(E[] elements)

Same for me, I've wasted an hour or two already, please update to use guava 
instead of old google-collections

guava 11 and later are still compatible to google-collections api 1.0

It would just help, if gdata would definitly rely on the google-collections api 
1.0 and not on "1.0-rc1". 

Then everyone is happy again.

No need to make gdata compatible with guava everytime.

Then again, if you're upgrading anyway, why not bring it up to the latest? That 
is current 11.0.2, if I'm not mistaken.

orkis: what?  No.  1.0-rc1 to 1.0 is not going to fix this.  We have started 
removing APIs that have been deprecated for >6 consecutive major Guava releases.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Well, gdata right now claims to use google-collection api 1.0, which is just 
not true. So it should be fixed first.

The thing with gdata depending on guava-XX is, that it can break with other 
libraries in my app, which also depend on guava, but on a different version.

One depends on guava-11, the other on guava-10, but guava-11 does not claim, 
its compatible with guava-10. Therefore my whole upgrade process stops. I must 
wait, till all libraries have grown to the same guava-version.

Therefore i like libraries, which depend on a stable API. While in my app, in a 
controlled environment, i am free to go with whatever guava-version i like, as 
long its compatible with that stable API as well.

Etc pp :D

@kevin, as far as i have seen, gdata uses a method, that is in 1.0-rc1, but was 
not in 1.0. But that method has been added again in guava, and has been removed 
finally in guava-11. So gdata needs to compile against 1.0, then it would also 
work within guava-11.

"Guava contains a strictly compatible superset of the old, deprecated Google 
Collections Library"

Why that would not work?

Libraries evolve, such is life. It's ugly, but straightforward enough to use 
reflection to determine whether google-collections api is in use, or the 
guava-11+ version, and call appropriate methods based on the result. Does gdata 
project accept patches?

When can we expect this to be fixed, if ever? It's irritating that our project 
can't use the latest Guava simply because it also uses GData.

I am using Google Adwords apI where the version of guava jar is 13.0.....When I 
replace guava-11.0.2 (which I used for Contacts) with guava-13.0, I get the 
above mentioned error again... 
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:

I faced same issue when added guava 13.0 for Google Drive API

currently wasted 4hrs and counting just trying to have project that uses Google 
Spreadsheets, gdata-client libs and Google Calendars API.

all due to guava lib not being a true replacement for collections.jar as far as 
I can see.

Please sort this.

See more at :

The above mentioned issues were also faced during environment set up and it was 
too difficult for me to trace them out. Step by step I eradicated all the 
errors.
I hope the following list of jar files will definitely help you..
------------------------------------------------
The Required library jars are as follows. 
---------------------------------------------
gdata-client-1.0.jar
gdata-core-1.0.jar
gdata-media-1.0.jar
gdata-youtube-2.0.jar
guava-11.0.2.jar
java-mail-1.4.4.jar
-------------------------

I am using the above mentioned library . Please make use of it ; because the 
ultimate aim is to get the YouTubeService Object. Check below for the code 
snippet.

package com.baba.test;
/*
 * Author : Somanath Nanda
 */
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;

import com.google.gdata.client.youtube.YouTubeQuery;
import com.google.gdata.client.youtube.YouTubeService;

public class Test {
    private static final String CLIENT_ID = "************************";
    private static final String DEVELOPER_KEY = "************************";
    public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        YouTubeService service = new YouTubeService(CLIENT_ID,DEVELOPER_KEY);
        service.setConnectTimeout(2000);
        YouTubeQuery query = new YouTubeQuery(new URL("http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos"));
        query.setOrderBy(YouTubeQuery.OrderBy.VIEW_COUNT);
        query.setFullTextQuery("java code");
        query.setMaxResults(10);
        System.out.println("Service : "+service);
    }

}
