We started WSS4J at sourceforge on 2003-05-14 for implementing Web Services Security (WS-Security OASIS specification) with the intention of coding in the stealth mode till we got a handle on the IPR issues etc. NOW webservices.xml.com is running an article on a competing implementation using the same name WSS4J. In these days when people google for anything and everything, am not sure what is going on. We got to know when a concerned citizen informed us http://article.gmane.org/gmane.text.xml.wss4j/52.

On a side note, jboss folks have picked up OUR wss4j (http://www.google.com/search?q=jboss+wss4j) as revealed by a simple Google Search.

If you have any questions, just ask on geronimo@incubator.apache.org mailing list.
