I know the question is subjective, but since the OpenID libraries page lists a number of libraries, I thought some attempts might be made to nominate one or two that are best, in terms of:

  • project activity
  • quality (few bugs, easy API, properly implementing the protocol)
  • documentation

I'd appreciate an answer from anyone having used any OpenID Java library

    What!?! I can't just guess? :) – willcodejavaforfood Nov 01 '10 at 17:43
  • No, it has to be justified ;) I already have my favourite (I'm about to use it), but let's see more opinions ;) – Bozho Nov 01 '10 at 17:44

  • oh.. missed that one in the suggestions (it's at the bottom). Anyway, I insist on weighing some factors, rather than just listing (I linked the list) – Bozho Nov 01 '10 at 18:22
  • My choice would be [openid4java](http://code.google.com/p/openid4java/). See also [OpenID Java](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/376561/openid-java). – Pascal Thivent Nov 08 '10 at 15:32

My choice was openid4java, because:

  • it is in a public maven repository
  • it's been actively developed (see the activity indicator on google code)
  • it worked fine, with the documentation provided
  • it's easy to use
