I’m looking for a replacement for JCaptcha, which doesn’t seem to be maintained any more, and isn’t very good to begin with. The replacement has to integrate nicely with JavaEE webapps.

As I can see it, there are three options:

  • JCaptcha – No longer maintained, crude API
  • SimpleCaptcha – much nicer API, nicer captchas, but seems to be Java6 only
  • ReCaptcha – easy to use, uses remote web-service to generate captchas, but not much control over look and feel

Has anyone used any others, that they’d recommend?

    ReCaptcha is the only captcha you should use, because it’s the only captcha that makes the world better (improve OCR results to old text), with almost unlimited database.

    All other captchas are usually limited by its database, or do nothing good to this world.

    EDIT :: I found steps how to implement captcha using recaptcha.

    You can check both Online and Offline captcha using java here
