[OpenID] ANN: OpenID4Java 0.9.4 - OpenID draft 12 and AX draft 7 support

[Eddy Nigg (StartCom Ltd.)]

I had the chance to browse the API a little bit and OpenID4Java looks 
extremely promising, specially since it really seems to be up2date 
including the various extensions. Hadn't any time to install and do some 
coding, which leads me actually to make a suggestion, which some 
community member could pick up perhaps:

How about providing a complete client and server implementation with all 
the whistle and bells which could be configured in a config or from DB? 
I could imagine that once something installable would be available, it 
actually would be used much more (including sql scripts etc). I could 
also imagine, to provide some hooks for popular forums and blogs, i.e. 
redirect authentication to the OpenID4Java client and post the result 
back...

Specially the availability of extensions like Attribute Exchange could 
improve the (security) status of OpenID further, meaning that actual 
implementations are using it.
