I'm cc'ing Shib users list.  We really like for questions to go to the
list so that others have the benefit of the answers and it goes into the
list archives...

No, all the extension jars go into <IdP dist dir>/lib directory.

No, those class files are all packaged into the
shibboleth-idp-ext-delegation-1.0.jar, so you don't need to worry about
them.   The only thing you need to copy are the jar files into /lib.


This is what is described in the first step of the install instructions:

If you have suggestions for how that can be better worded, let us know.


After you complete install step # 2:

you can run 'jar tvf idp.war' on the newly generated IdP war file to
confirm that the jar files you added are packaged into the new IdP
deployment archive.
