I'm following the getting started guide "Accessing Facebook Data" and I have integrated the code from the same into an already existing spring boot application created using web interface. When I access the /connect URL to access facebook data, I'm getting null in the facebook object injected in the HelloController. While the same appId and appSecret works in the code cloned from github by spring to access facebook data, so my test facebook app doesn't seem to be a problem at all.

There is a bug in github but its for old version. I'm using the new code which has this fixed. Can someone point me what I'm missing?
Project can be accessed at github.
There was some problem in dependency loading it think. I just reimported maven dependencies of the project(Intellij idea).
Right click your project > Maven > Reimport
I also changed the working directory and then problem got resolved.
