New issue 105 by brianand...@gmail.com: Anyone considering adding OAuth2
support?
https://code.google.com/p/google-sites-liberation/issues/detail?id=105

The UserCredential validation with Username/Password is set to expire
Monday, April 20th.

This is a very useful tool, but it doesn't look like anyone is working to
enable OAuth2 support to let it live on.

Is there another project with an OAuth2 ready version?

I probably should have marked this as a High priority. As I understand it,
the tool will stop working once the API is deprecated.

It actually stopped working. I have tried to fix it myself, but it looks
like googlers are using packages, which are not available to others - most
dependencies related to gdata were not resolved due to required version
unavailability in maven repositories.

I have been using this successfully for a few years and now it no longer
works.

Are there any chances to fix this? I tried here but I do not see how to use
OAuth2. Sites API does not seem to have a way to do that

I'm having the same problem as well. It looks like the tool is completely
unusable for me now as I did not have an oauth token and get errors when
trying to get a new one. Is there any workaround?

I am unable to use this, too. I do not see oAuth2 being used here:
https://developers.google.com/google-apps/sites/docs/1.0/developers_guide_java

Is there any other way to use OAuth2?

The code needs to be upgraded to use OAuth2. The Username/Password
credential validation API was deprecated.

With OAuth2, the code would need to have the end user login to an account
page, click on a link authorizing the app to access the API's on behalf of
the account. After that, it can obtain an authorization token for
temporary use, and a refresh token to get an additional authorization token.

It's a much more secure method because the user never supplies his/her
credentials and can revoke the app's access at any time.

So, this otherwise useful app, is useless until OAuth2 is implemented (or
Google reinstates the less secure Username/Password validation method.)

Google uses OAuth2 instead of user account/password.

I only fixed the GUI interface.

Because I have no idea about OAuth2 with command lines. @@
