Hi spreadsheet-api consumers from Java.

You probably already know that there are 2 Java client libraries:

  gdata-java-client  (1.42.0)
  google-api-java-client (1.2.1-alpha)

>From what I can work out, google-api-java-client is a reaction away from 
getting 'too semantic' with the feeds, and provides just a bare-bones 
abstraction of feeds and entries, leaving you to add the meaning as per the 
particular Gdata protocol being used, for your particular usage scenario.

Are you using the new library?  How is that working out for you?  Do you 
miss the legacy library as you essentially re-implement concepts from the 
legacy library, or do you find the closer coupling with the Gdata protocol 
itself to be beneficial?  Do you find it to be of a higher quality of 
implementation than the legacy library, or is it truly still 'alpha' as the 
version label suggests?  Do you think you'll ever commit to the new library 
and leave the legacy one behind?

thanking you for your opinion,
David Bullock.
