OpenSAML user discussion

[Chad La Joie <>]

No, there is no active work on it.  Personally I've been considering 
just dropping planned support for it all together.  Sun recently 
announced the EoL of Java 5 (Oct. 09) and I'm definitely going to 
support 1.4 after that.

You can run retroweaver (or any other back-porting translation tool) 
yourself.  If it's critical I would suggest doing that.  That way you 
can then submit bugs on all the 1.5-only code was accidentally incorporated.
