Facebook API for Java application (for example, using the Swing library) [closed]

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, inco开发者_StackOverflow社区mplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center. Closed 11 years ago.

I have to write an application which will use some Facebook API to connect with a user account, check the user's message box, and maybe checks the user's wall.

Among others, I saw http://code.google.com/p/facebook-java-api, but getting the started guide shows how to do it only for servlets.

There does not seem to be an official way to do this, most likely because of authentication requirements. You have to embed restful APIs in your application. The REST API, that you can use to call Facebook from a Java application, is at http://restfb.com/.
