Flickr API for Java
I recently decided that I would like to have some kind of tool that I could run to backup all of my photos on Flickr. I basically wanted a directory containing a bunch of subfolders representing sets, with the original photos placed within. I also wanted all of the photos that I had not placed into a set to be downloaded.
Solution: flickrj.
Over the course of the weekend, I've become a developer on the flickrj "team". You gotta love open source :-) "Hey, maintainer. Are you going to fix bug x?" "No, user, I'm busy. Do you want to do it?".
So...if you are a Java coder, and want to do neat stuff with Flickr, do check out FlickrJ. My backup program is also up there, checked into flickrj's CVS repository.
Update: The actual backup application is here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/flickrj/api/src/flickrj/samples/

Hello Matt,
Your nifty little program can be useful to me too.
I could not find it under flickrj's CVS - can you please let me know the path to it or the name? - I will check the CVS again.
Thanks a lot
Abhijit
Is it me or does the latest flickrj download points to the wrong image server?
Matt: Seems ok to me...
