Setting up oauth for simple single-user desktop application

I am writing a java desktop application for a single user that needs to access files in Google Drive in one specific google account which I want to hard code into the application. I am very confused about this whole OAuth 2.0 business which I am not familiar with it. Is there a simple way to login to the google apis when the user is known in advance?

You can have a look at the scribe library, this should make your life easier.

Scribe provides an easy, extensible and bug-free way of OAuth-signing requests. But you have to check about their support for oauth 2.0: "OAuth 2.0 support is not going to get any more attention and may eventually be deprecated and dropped." But there are several forks to support Google OAuth 2.0
