Hi,

I wanted to do a proof of concept around writing a PSP to provision 
groups to one of our cloud vendors.

Looking through the source code, I think I'll need to extend 
BaseSpmlTarget. Any other pointers to writing a custom PSP? I started 
watching the training videos for PSP and have read portions of 
https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+Provisioning


As a side note, I had trouble building the PSP stuff when following 
https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Getting+Started+with+Grouper+Provisioning+Tests+in+Eclipse

I'm running maven3 from the command line.

The first two issues were related to the repositories defined in 
psp-parent/pom.xml. The shib release url 
(https://shibboleth.net/nexus/content/groups/public) is a 404. I think 
it should be (https://build.shibboleth.net/nexus/content/groups/public).
The defined Internet2 repository doesn't seem to have all the required 
maven stuff either. Adding sonatype's repository seems to fix some 
issues https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots.

The 3rd issue is when maven tries to resolve 
edu.internet2.middleware.grouper:grouper:jar:2.1.1 -  that version is 
not in the central maven repo (only 2.1.0 seems to be)

Is running the build from the command line supported? I wasn't sure from 
the documentation if I need to do it within Eclipse and download all the 
other source code and build everything.


thanks,

Patrick
