Frequently Asked Questions


About Issues (This is important)

Features / Fixes

Please file a ticket for every feature/fix you want. The issue page acts as my TODO list, if it’s not there it won’t happen.

If something doesn’t work for you, you must provide a failing executable example (Just saying “it doesn’t work” won’t do).

I’m not getting bitchier by the day, it’s just that as the number of developers increase I just can’t handle all the requests.

I won’t debug your whole project so please don’t send me that. Thank you


Can I use Scribe behind a proxy?

Yes. Do this

System.setProperty("java.net.useSystemProxies", "true");

if that doesn’t work, this website might provide some insight

When will you support “INSERT_API_HERE” ?

If it’s a 1.0a Api, probably you can do it yourself by extending Default10Api and defining the endpoints. If it has something weird, file a ticket and I’ll see what I can do

Does Scribe support OAuth 2.0 ? And Facebook’s Api ?

Indeed we do sir! since 1.1.0

Do you support XAuth ? What about OAuth WRAP ?

No. These protocols differ quite a lot from OAuth 1 and 2. Although I’d love to make Scribe the de-facto library for all signing protocols, here it’s not practical. You are better off using a dedicate library for those 2 (and other strange variations)

Your work is great! I’d be glad to support your efforts

Seems there is no easy way in github to accept donations, and I’m too lazy to set something up. Just be good and help others if they need to, that should do.

Is there a mailing list ?

No. Email me directly at fernandezpablo85 at gmail dot com

How do I get notified of releases/changes ?

You can poll the donwloads page or follow me on twitter (@fernandezpablo)

Does Scribe support jdk1.5 and jre1.5. why myeclipse console show "Exception in thread “main” java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file"?

I had the same problem and finally Build succeeded using jdk1.6.
