Re: Investigate forking Spring Web Flow for IdP 5 ( https://shibboleth.atlassian.net/browse/IDP-1892?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNjQzNzhhZDAyMGUzNDVhMTg1NTE1ZTQ4YWM2ZGNlYzQiLCJwIjoiaiJ9 )

The fork is now fully functional, with the exception of the spring-faces module which I have removed. I have integrated the resulting artifacts with the v5 branch of the IdP and again things seem to be compiling and running tests. More work needed to verify that, and that may require additional work here. In addition, if we’re going to adopt this fork in some way, I need to review what I’ve done in a bit more depth to see if it’s comprehensible.

The next thing to do, though, is to write to the Spring folks to get a definitive yes/no as to whether Spring Web Flow is officially going to be EOL. If they are prepared to keep the product maintained we can offer to work with them to pull in the changes required, which would probably be preferable to ending up maintaining something of our own (with reduced functionality and probably with a Shibboleth-specific groupId if not package namespace).
