I need to develop an application that would be able to download a given document from Google Drive. I have found out that the recommended technology to use in the Java world is currently the Google Drive SDK.

As described by the quick start guide I have imported the required dependencies to my Maven project like this:

<dependency> <groupId>com.google.apis</groupId> <artifactId>google-api-services-drive</artifactId> <version>v2-rev98-1.17.0-rc</version> </dependency>

The official sample DriveCommandLine source code (to be found at the bottom of same page) refuses to compile with the following error messages:

  • The import com.google.api.client.json.jackson cannot be resolved (at DriveCommandLine.java, line 8),
  • JacksonFactory cannot be resolved to a type (at DriveCommandLine.java, line 27).

How do I fix it? I'm running Java version 1.7.

Apparently you need to import the following dependency as well in order for the code to work. It contains the JacksonFactory class.

<dependency> <groupId>com.google.http-client</groupId> <artifactId>google-http-client-jackson2</artifactId> <version>1.16.0-rc</version> </dependency>
