flattr4j

flattr4j is a free open source Java library for using the Flattr API and adding Flattr buttons to JSP web sites.

It primarily targets for business grade Flattr integration, e.g. on servers, web sites and full-featured desktop applications, but it can also be used on Android devices.

Quick Start

flattr4j is available at Maven Central. Just add this snippet to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.shredzone.flattr4j</groupId>
  <artifactId>flattr4j-core</artifactId>
  <version>2.14</version>
</dependency>

Requirements

flattr4j needs at least Java 1.6 or Android API level 11 (earlier levels do not work because they do not support SNI).

flattr4j version 2 requires the json.org reference library. If you use Maven, the dependency is loaded automatically. Android API provides it, so flattr4j-core does not need additional libraries on Android devices.

Up to version 2.11, flattr4j also required Apache HttpComponents 4.
