Using GoogleMaps with JXMapKit

I have been searching on the web to see if I can use GoogleMaps with the JXMapViewer. According to this, it is illegal, but the article is more than three years old. Could anyone be kind enough to tell me if I can use GoogleMaps with the JXMap viewer? I know that Googl开发者_开发问答e has recently allowed desktop applications to use their static maps provided that the application is freely accessible to people on some website.

If this can be done, I would appreciate some pointer to where I could start looking so that I can use Google Maps, I tried messing around with this but to no avail.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I have managed to show a map in my JXMapKit. The only problem is that I am getting the image as a tiled image, whilst I only need one. Any help on this issue?

It seems that the JXMapViewer will never be able to use GoogleMaps since Google decided to not make their Tile Servers available to the general public, as shown here.
