How can I integrate Firebase with a Java desktop application?

Is there a .jar file I could download?

I've seen plain Java docs on the old Firebase version but I'm unable to find any documentation on the latest version of Firebase.

My IDE is Netbeans.

Thanks.

You can use firebase-server-sdk-3.0.1.jar (current version)

In Netbeans I would recommend to create Maven project and use artifact: GroupId - com.google.firebase, ArtifactId: firebase-server-sdk.

I works perfectly for me.

You can find some documentation here.

To initialize SDK just follow documentation: add service account (I use Owner role, I haven't tried weaker roles), download private key, and use this snippet:

FirebaseOptions options = new FirebaseOptions.Builder()

.setServiceAccount(new FileInputStream("path/to/downloaded private key.json"))

.setDatabaseUrl("https://your database name.firebaseio.com/")

.build();

FirebaseApp.initializeApp(options);
