This guy claims to have a first draft of one:

This guy says use the standard Google Java api, with examples:

Hi There,

I want to use google places API from the service side at my Java appengine and GWT app. It is possible using URLFetch on places web services. Is there anyone who has written a library which converts the JSON response to Java objects.

This would save me considerable time in case some one has done that.

Thanks a lot

Rahul

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the reply. I was more looking for a jar which is having all the json to java objects. I was able to build fetch the place results using URL fetch quiet easily, but they have a silly place id to reference conversion, which means additional work. So, for now I am just using the foursquare java jar for testing and building the rest of app. At some point, I will build a simple places jar, as I get more time.

Both, these are still very basic.

Cheers,

Rahul
