The target contains the actual .jar file (shibboleth-idp-delegation-1.0.jar - I typed the wrong filename yesterday) *and* a zip/tar.gz file! This is why I was confused. So when I unpack the tar.gz file, *there* is the elusive lib directory, containing both the actual extension jar and another supporting one. Ah. So now we are all on the same page! And now the instructions from step 1 of the readme file make perfect sense. <div>
<br></div><div>I think having the other directories created in the target directory lead me down the proverbial garden path, because I had the jar file ready to go, so I was looking there for a lib directory.

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

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