<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"IBM Plex Serif",serif">I started down a rabbit hole of compiling a product that uses Apache ws-wss4j, during compiling that I found I needed java-opensaml so I thought I’d build that….<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"IBM Plex Serif",serif">I started with a git clone of
<a href="https://git.shibboleth.net/git/java-opensaml.git">https://git.shibboleth.net/git/java-opensaml.git</a> and tried to `mvn install` it, quickly realised I needed more dependencies, browsed
<a href="https://git.shibboleth.net/view/">https://git.shibboleth.net/view/</a> till I found a likely candidate, cloned it, `mvn install`ed it until I hit a loop between java-mvn-enforcer and java-support. At which point I’d cloned 13 projects with no real
 clue. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<a href="https://shibboleth.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DEV/pages/1123450991/Setting+Up+Configuring+and+Using+Maven">
https://shibboleth.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DEV/pages/1123450991/Setting+Up+Configuring+and+Using+Maven</a> but that doesn’t tell me the order of things. I’ve spent several hours now searching for build instructions, but can’t find anything that tells me what
 I should clone and in which order.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
