Back in May, we launched the Maps Data API, a programmatic way to interact with map data using Google's GData infrastructure. At the time, we offered a basic HTTP protocol and a Java library. The Java client library for the Maps Data API allows you to create robust Maps data applications without the need to manage raw HTTP requests. Instead, you can create an inherently more scalable application in Java, which handles all of the HTTP requests and responses for you.We're happy to announce that we've updated the Java client library to add better Maps Data support, and have published an accompanying Java Developer Guide to get you started. The sample code within the developer guide is also included within the sample code available within the gdata-java-client library.What did we add? In specific we added several helper methods which should make creating features easier:
