Which Java library should I use for authentication through Facebook, Gmail, local auth, etc.?

Which Java library do you recommend to implement authentication in a Java web app (just servlets & JSPs)? We want to offer the most common authentication providers (Facebook, Yahoo, Gmail, etc.) and also local account registration.

I have found SocialAuth but it looks pretty new and I don't know if there are better alternatives. In addition, it looks like SocialAuth will request access to users contacts which I don't need and could annoy our users.

Thanks!

You can checkout the newer version of SocialAuth, u can set the level of permissions to be asked from the users.

I ended up using openid4java to integrate Google and Yahoo OpenId, and plain HttpClient calls to integrate OAuth based services (Facebook and Hotmail).

Spring Security is a good starting point to get a flexible authentication system in your project.

There is a spring-security-facebook plugin that will integrate facebook auth.

I'm not sure about the others specifically. If you are talking about OpenID then spring security supports that.
