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

Sun Sep 30 20:24:32 UTC 2007

Will your library support the various extensions such as OpenID Provider 
Authentication Policy Extension 1.0, draft 1 
<http://openid.net/specs/openid-provider-authentication-policy-extension-1_0-01.html> 
and OpenID Attribute Exchange 1.0, draft 7 
<http://openid.net/specs/openid-attribute-exchange-1_0-07.html> ? In any 
case also this project looks promising (at least the web site ;-) ). 
Haven't looked at the code so far, but please keep us updated when you 
are releasing your first beta!
