Workaround for JHipster. Add the following snippet into your SocialService class until spring-social-facebook is fixed.

import java.lang.reflect.Field;
import java.lang.reflect.Modifier;
import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;

@PostConstruct
private void init() {
    try {
        String[] fieldsToMap = { "id", "about", "age_range", "birthday",
                "context", "cover", "currency", "devices", "education",
                "email", "favorite_athletes", "favorite_teams",
                "first_name", "gender", "hometown", "inspirational_people",
                "installed", "install_type", "is_verified", "languages",
                "last_name", "link", "locale", "location", "meeting_for",
                "middle_name", "name", "name_format", "political",
                "quotes", "payment_pricepoints", "relationship_status",
                "religion", "security_settings", "significant_other",
                "sports", "test_group", "timezone", "third_party_id",
                "updated_time", "verified", "viewer_can_send_gift",
                "website", "work" };

        Field field = Class.forName(
                "org.springframework.social.facebook.api.UserOperations")
                .getDeclaredField("PROFILE_FIELDS");
        field.setAccessible(true);

        Field modifiers = field.getClass().getDeclaredField("modifiers");
        modifiers.setAccessible(true);
        modifiers.setInt(field, field.getModifiers() & ~Modifier.FINAL);
        field.set(null, fieldsToMap);

    } catch (Exception ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
}
