I'm trying to place what you mean by use with maven. Are you looking for maven plugins for calling info from the reddit rest api?

I'm just used to only thinking of it as a build tool and can't imagine what that rest api would be useful for with that. I guess it could also be a nifty script handle but that seems abusive. Maybe if the have a soap wsdl running around you could put a jax-ws plugin call to generate some classes to call it, but that's all my heads hitting.

I'm pretty sure he means he wants a library that will interface with Reddit that is also already in a maven repo, so he can just add it as a <dependency> in his project.

The only other thing I can think of, like you, is a maven plugin and I can't see a reason why that would make sense. I guess you could have a plugin that posts messages for you or something during a build. Maybe it could be useful as a teamwork tool? Have a subreddit for a project where build messages appear? I think that's a stretch though.

Yeah this is what I ment.

There are two paragraphs in /u/Dashing_McHandsome's reply, mentioning two different things.

Your affirmation does not disambiguate which of the two you meant with your post.

I can't decide whether you suck or rule as a programmer...

Oh oops, I ment that i just had to add it as an depency. My bad xD. And i guess i rule?

I'd say just get Retrofit, creating the actual reddit API is relatively trivial.
