I have released the newest version of JetS3t, version 0.8.0.
Real Google Storage support
Amongst many other things, this release is the first to include native support for Google Storage for Developers (GS). This means that you can now interact with GS using its own API instead of relying on its (mostly) S3-compatible API. Take a look at the GS sample code.
I would like to thank the Google developers who helped make this possible.
Major changes -- Take care
This release includes more changes to the underlying JetS3t codebase than I've made in a long time, hence the move to version 0.8.x. A broad refactoring was necessary to add the brand new GoogleStorageService, and it's related Google-specific features, in a relatively sane way.
The advantages of all these changes are:
- JetS3t now has generic storage service, bucket, object, and multi-threading classes to simplify working with different providers, Amazon S3 or Google Storage
- We have finally dropped support for JDK version 1.4 and moved to Java 6+, so we can take advantage of newer language and library features (generics, at last!)
The disadvantages of the rework are:
- We have definitely broken backwards-compatibility for some folks who use older JDKs. Sorry about that
- Despite our best intentions we may have broken backwards-compatibility in non-obvious places
This release is likely to be more buggy and less stable than you've come to expect from JetS3t. Before you upgrade, be sure to read the full RELEASE_NOTES.txt document and do plenty of testing.
And, of course, file bugs if you find any.

The latest version should be available from the official Maven2 repository within a few days.
Change Summary
Here is a summary of new features and changes in this release.
Potentially backwards-incompatible changes:
- Wide-ranging code changes made adding support for Google Storage may lead to API incompatibilities
- JetS3t now requires Java 6+, it is no longer compatible with JDK 1.4
-
Changed property names:
- s3service.internal-error-retry-max => storage-service.internal-error-retry-max
- s3service.stream-retry-buffer-size => uploads.stream-retry-buffer-size
- s3service.defaultStorageClass => s3service.default-storage-class
-
Removed antiquated and unsupported SOAPS3Service
- Methods for setting and using AWS DevPay credentials moved from S3Service to RestS3Service
- Deprecated a range of S3-specific classes, where provider-agnostic implementations are now available
New support for Google Storage provider:
- Native Google Storage service and ACL implementations: GoogleStorageService, GSAccessControlList
- Generic bucket, object, and service classes for interacting with either of the S3 or Google Storage services
- Provider-agnostic multi-threaded services: ThreadedStorageService, SimpleThreadedStorageService
- Almost all utility classes are compatible with both the S3 and Google Storage services
Bug fixes:
- CloudFrontService: URL signing API changed to support HTTPS and RTMP resources, not just HTTP ones
New toolkit functionality:
- RestS3Service: supports for bucket access policies
- CloudFrontService: support for Default Root Object and object invalidation
- FileComparer utility and JetS3t apps now uses a trailing slash to denote directory place-holder objects, instead of the custom "application/x-directory" content-type
Cockpit application updates:
- Log in to either Amazon S3 or Google Storage services via GUI
- Manage a CloudFront distribution's Default Root Object
Synchronize application updates:
- Fully supports new GoogleStorageService, allowing synchronization with Google Storage via its native API
- Choose target service end-point, Amazon S3 or Google Storage, with the --provider command argument
