Yeah, that example code is very old and the library init process has
changed.  You  no longer call Configuration.init() (because it doesn't
exist anymore).  Instead you do:

org.opensaml.DefaultBootstrap.bootstrap().

Or you can initialize the providers, etc.  and other Configuration items
using custom code if you like.  But if you don't have special needs, the
DefaultBootstrap is the way to go.
