Not quite. Most of the ones you have mentioned simply use the OpenID protocol, however Facebook uses its own authorisation, so you would need to add that as a separate method.

Take a look at OpenID4Java

I have also used the openid-selector for the client side part.

Finally, I would take a look at the this resource to see the URL endpoints for the different providers.

There is two sides of this:

  • client-side. This is the easier part. You can do this manually, but there are already javascript solutions that will render a list of openid providers. Check openid-selector and this jQuery plugin. I personally like the latter more.
  • server-side. You will have to handle openId authentication. There are multiple java libraries (they are all listed on the openid website). Here is one that I decided to use: openid4java. See this question for my motivation.
