Bitlyj 2.0 is out and available through maven central or direct download. For a more detailed overview, see the QuickStart page, but here's a teaser. Assuming the imports:

import com.rosaloves.bitlyj.*;
import static com.rosaloves.bitlyj.Bitly.*;

and credentials:

String user = "user";
String apiKey = "R_XXXXX";

you shorten a URL like this:

as(user, apiKey).call(shorten("http://rosaloves.com/"));

Noteworthy features, as they appear on the project page:

• Concise DSL syntax with obvious semantics == bitly interaction with no boilerplate.
• Natural error handling with no checked exceptions. If you want to deal with exceptions, catch BitlyException and access the delivered message (yields bitly's status text).
• J.mp support baked in, with the same DSL sugar.
• Runs on Android.
• Zero dependencies.
• Flexible API. Bitly methods are no longer hard-wired to an interface, so evolution is possible without API breakage.
• Extensible API. Implementing your own methods is simple: implement the functionality in an implementation of BitlyMethod?. You get core error handling for free, and you can even implement specialized methods not supported by bitly.
• Access to other bitly-powered services is simple: implement Provider (two methods).

The library is well-tested, but you run into a problem open an issue (or post to the list).
