Grouper Developers Forum

I run signet 1.0.1 with grouper 1.1 in the same jvm using subject 0.2.1 
and hibernate 1.7.2 (the earlier version that ships with grouper). Some 
care must be taken with forming the union of the two products' 3rd 
parties libs - with the exception noted above, keep the later version of 
any 3rd party lib in common.

I hear the sound of potential volunteerism! I'm very interested to learn 
more about what you're attempting to do.
