We've probably all been there at some point...


But seriously, you do realize that this code should absolutely not be 
used for any "real" or production purpose, right?


At the very least, it's going to be full of security vulnerabilities, 
having not been updated in 2 decades.  (Not to mention it only supports 
SAML 1, not SAML 2. And the cryptographic stuff is probably mostly or 
entirely algorithms that have long since been deprecated due to weakness.)

You generally just unpack the source, cd into the source directory and 
run the ant (Linux, MacOS) or ant.bat (Windows) script, which by 
default will execute the full build and dist targets.  Out of curiosity 
I just ran it on MacOS under a modern Java, and somewhat surprisingly 
it worked without any errors. Don't know if Windows would be as successful.


If you're new to Java, be aware that ant isn't used much anymore for 
building Java software projects.


If this discussion needs to be more detailed, should probably move it 
the the dev list.
