A new stand-alone Java library for accessing GitHub API v3 was announced alongside the Mylyn connector, offering functionalities such as creating and fetching issues, labels, milestones, and gists. This library is demonstrated through a simple example of creating a new private Gist containing a one-line Java file, and further examples are available in the GitHub Mylyn connector source. The library, known as org.eclipse.egit.github.core, requires Google Gson 1.6+ and Apache HttpComponents 4.1+, with the latest builds accessible on the GitHub Eclipse Hudson page. As the API v3 expands, additional services will be incorporated into the library, and users are encouraged to share their creations using the GitHub Java API library.
