Gary Helmling updated SHINDIG-60:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: fix-SHINDIG-60-bug_rome.patch

Since Eddie is licensed under the GPL (which wouldn't seem to allow use?), I've attached an alternate patch implemented using the ROME library (https://rome.dev.java.net/).  ROME is licensed under the Apache License, ver. 2.  

This patch takes the same approach as the previous implementation, adding a dependency on ROME in the pom.xml, and returning the JSON object format specified in the Google Gadgets spec (http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/remote-content.html#Fetch_JSON) for the feed content.

One particular question I had was whether the "ErrorMsg" JSON property should be used to communicate errors (as the gadgets spec indicates), or a GadgetException should be thrown to be consistent with other Shindig handling.

> The FEED contentType in gadgets.io.MakeRequest should not return general json in the same way that the JSON contentType does. It should instead return a structured object that looks like this:
