Maybe that'll solve a few problems with the Java API :-)
It uses some userspace "client" functionality.

I never had the time to really look deep into it so I always 
recommended people not to  use the authentication stuff.
The only thing I know is that you'll not able to get a token with that 
library. On some functionality it's a little inconsistent in design.
If somone's interested in future discussion about this just mail me ;-)
