Sorry! but quick question about installing the SAML delegation extension

[Karla Borecky]

Thank you. I was wondering because I didn't see *any* class files in lib
directories. That's the whole point of the mvn build, isn't it - to create
one jar file?

I guess if I were describing it, I would just say

1)  Copy the extension project jar file
(shibboleth-idp-delegation-x.x-bin.jar) to the IdP source distribution's
lib directory.

and maybe include a reference to instructions on the step before this that
uses maven to create the jar file? (which I can't actually lay my hands on
now...) Actually, maybe the maven build instructions could be step 1, and
then step 2 would be to copy the resulting jar file into the IdP source lib
directory. (Thanks for setting me straight on that! Duh.)

I appreciate the tip on seeing what packages have been included in the IdP
jar file, so I can verify that it all got tucked in there. That will
eliminate a potential first line of troubleshooting.


thank you for helping,

Karla
