title: Modern Flickr API for Java
body: <p>Is there any Java API for Flickr out there that is more modern than the existing ones?</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="http://flickrj.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">flickrj</a>
  <ul>
  <li>contains full set of API methods</li>
  <li>API usage tedious, no generics, type safe values, etc.</li>
  <li>no updates in two years</li>
  <li>no up-to-date version in maven central</li>
  </ul></li>
  <li><a href="http://jickr.org/" rel="nofollow">jickr</a>
  <ul>
  <li>unmaintained, incomplete, alpha</li>
  </ul></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Also, as far as I can see, all of them are missing updates and are also not (with the most current version) available via maven central.</p>
