title: Facebook API / httpclient wrapper for crawling through the wall posts & group posts of any user?
body: <p>I am completely new to facebook api and working on a very small project. Before getting into details of their api doc, I wanted to ask a quick question.</p>
  
  <p>My application needs login with a facebook userid/password, go to a friends wall / groups wall, crawl through all the wall posts and dump them in database for further analysis. A simple http client would do the trick if facebook weren't completely unusable without javascript. Since its going to be a desktop app, I am reluctant to go for a full fledged server based app. </p>
  
  <p>So what should be the simplest way of crawling through FB friend / group wall? Please correct me if I'm asking the wrong question because I have Zero FB knowledge.</p>
  
  <p>PS: I would like a java based library / wrapper but any language would do...</p>
