ComputeEngineSample.java uses deprecated APIs

[rameshvenk]

In which file did you encounter the issue?

https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/java-docs-samples/blob/master/compute/cmdline/src/main/java/ComputeEngineSample.java

Did you change the file? If so, how?

GoogleCredentials credential = GoogleCredentials.getApplicationDefault();

HttpRequestInitializer httpRequestInitializer =
                new HttpCredentialsAdapter(credential);

Compute compute =
          new Compute.Builder(httpTransport, JSON_FACTORY, httpRequestInitializer)
              .setApplicationName(APPLICATION_NAME)
              .build();

Describe the issue

The code uses the GoogleCredential class, but the api docs have it marked deprecated. The API reference page also has the same error. After some help via StackOverflow I was able to get this to work.

It would be helpful to update these examples as I feel they are critical for someone trying to navigate the vast maze of the Google APIs. The java sdk is very nice to use, but the authentication part feels a bit hard.

@tequilarista PTAL

@averikitsch Do you own this?

[averikitsch]

It would be a good idea to know what the priority is of maintaining/supporting these samples and who is best to do that work(@tequilarista).

[lesv]

GoogleCredential is deprecated. Samples should be updates to use GoogleCredentials.
See Issue #2885

Removing myself so it can be picked up by someone during the FixIt
