The Spring Social Google project is an extension to Spring Social that enables integration with Google services.

Spring Social Google enables integration with Google with GoogleConnectionFactory, a connection factory that can be plugged into Spring Social's service provider connection framework, and with an API binding to Google REST APIs.

The following Maven dependency will add Spring Social Google to your project:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.social</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-social-google</artifactId>
  <version>${org.springframework.social-google-version}</version>
</dependency>
    

As an extension to Spring Social, Spring Social Google depends on Spring Social. Spring Social's core module will be transitively resolved from the Spring Social Google dependency. If you'll be using Spring Social's web module, you'll need to add that dependency yourself:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.social</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-social-web</artifactId>
  <version>${org.springframework.social-version}</version>
</dependency>
    

Note that Spring Social Google may release on a different schedule than Spring Social. Consequently, Spring Social's version may differ from that of Spring Social Google.

Consult Spring Social's reference documentation for more information on Spring Social dependencies.
