Spring Boot Starter for Spring Social Google

[jiwhiz]

I'm using Spring Social Google in my project, and would like to have a spring boot starter for that.

[philwebb]

Thanks, have you signed the CLA?

[jiwhiz]

Yes, did that long time ago when I worked with spring social security.

[philwebb]

@jiwhiz Thanks, but could you also sign the Spring Boot CLA. I think they are the same but I'd like to make sure that we have all bases covered.

[jiwhiz]

@philwebb Signed the Spring Boot CLA. Got response:

Hello Yuan Ji

Thank you but our records indicate that you have already accepted the individual
contributor agreement. If you are interested in participating in an additional
Spring project, please contact the appropriate project lead and indicate that
you have already signed the Spring Contributor Agreement. Once signed
agreement covers participating in as many Spring projects as you need.

Your confirmation number is: 40020121213084106

[philwebb]

OK, Thanks. My mistake, it looks like the CLA covers all projects.

As things stand, I'm not sure that we should merge this.

The project's group id is org.springframework.social but, AFAIK, it isn't an official Spring project. It isn't listed in the Spring Social README and isn't in the Spring Projects GitHub organisation. I'm wary of creating the wrong impression regarding the Spring team's involvement with the project. I'd be more comfortable if the project wasn't being published in "our" group id.

Hmm... Spring Social Google is already under group id of "org.springframework.social". Since it is so important, is it possible to move it into spring-projects? I think it will benefit all of us.

/cc @GabiAxel @habuma

[jiwhiz]

So @GabiAxel is OK to move spring-social-google to spring-projects. Is it @habuma 's call now?

[wilkinsona]

Thanks for the PR. We've discussed this and decided that we don't want to add support for spring-social-google to Spring Boot. As an alternative, you may want to consider contributing the auto-configuration to the spring-social-google project.
