Apparently you have found this page.. 

https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/SourceAccess

Keep reading and it explains the rest of your questions and here is
another page that might help. 

https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/DevelopmentDocs

Also might find the high level doc useful... ??

Turn up logging..

If you're just adding to / changing the IdP you can use the normal mvn build
command set. 

mvn -DskipTests -P release install


Your questions semi sound like they could be directed to the users list at
users at shibboleth.net You might find that that would be a better place to
query.
