Shibboleth integration in Jira [Solved]

[Paul G. Szabady]

Closing the loop.

After updating the pom.xml to reference the correct version of 
com.atlassian.jira the sso, user, and group hooks work just fine. So my 
apologies for "complaining" about Scott's awesome code. (Thanks 
Scott!!!)  It's was purely a matter of being new to jira and shibboleth 
shim(s).

For reference in case others run into this issue:
When you tell Mavin to build, it takes the stuff in the local files, 
which evidently references stuff from other projects, and pulls those 
resources in from the network. Scott's stuff was pulling in the older 
Jira objects; we changed the version number and it pulled in the right 
things.

Thanks to all for your contributions and assistance!

It won't change just because this particular issue gets fixed, unless you want to constrain your upgrade schedule to somebody else's who's maintaining the plugin. Basically, I don't advise SSO with their products unless you're prepared to debug and maintain code.
