IIRC correctly, the actual extension jar shouldn't have "-bin" in the
name.  Don't confuse it with the bin zip/tar.gz archive that the Maven
build will create in /target.  You want the raw jar file, not a
distribution archive.  Actually, after you build the extension, you need
to unpack the zip/tar.gz extension archive in order to get what you need
to install.  Don't forget about the extension dependencies which will be
in the unpacked extensions /lib directory.  I think this one has at
least 1 jar dependency, perhaps more.

I don't think we've ever provided an "official" binary build of the
extension.  It wasn't really intended that people build from source,
hence the lack of Maven build instructions.  But this project never
really got to the point of a "release", given where things got left off
with the intended initial deployer.
