1. Spring Social Yammer Overview

1.1 Introduction

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

With 3 million users (and growing) from 80 percent of the Fortune 500 companies, Yammer is major platform for enterprise social networks.

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

1.2 How to get

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

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

As an extension to Spring Social, Spring Social Yammer depends on Spring Social. Spring Social's core module will be transitively resolved from the Spring Social Yammer 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 Yammer may release on a different schedule than Spring Social. Consequently, Spring Social's version may differ from that of Spring Social Yammer.

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