I am trying to debug a problem I am having with the current IDP, and I haven't built it from source since the ant build and zip distro, and apparently I am failing to get maven to work right.  I am following the instructions on this page:

 

https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/SHIB2/SourceAccess

 

The opensaml2 stuff seems to build fine (no errors and it says it copies it into the local repository).  When I try to execute the the maven build for the IDP I get the following error:

 

--------------------------

Missing:
----------
1) org.opensaml:opensaml:jar:2.2.4

  Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

  Then, install it using the command:
      mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.opensaml -DartifactId=opensaml -Dversion=2.2.4 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

  Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there:
      mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.opensaml -DartifactId=opensaml -Dversion=2.2.4 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

  Path to dependency:
        1) edu.internet2.middleware:shibboleth-common:jar:1.1.3
        2) org.opensaml:opensaml:jar:2.2.4
--------------------------

 

I tried executing the command recommended in the error message above, and I no longer get the above error, but then I get java compile errors related to not being able to find the opensaml libraries (which means the above fix only tricks Maven, but the root problem remains).  I looked at the developer's list archives and saw that someone else had almost this exact error, but then they followed up that the problem fixed itself...  I have tried deleting my repository and redownloading/building about 5 times with no such luck.  I suspect my problem is somehow tied to my general cluelessness about Maven, but I am not having much luck figuring this out.  Any tips would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks,
