I would have expected most IdPs to be moved to SAML2, say, within a
year (with the EOL of the Shib 1.x line) and only SPs staying on SAML1
a while longer (content providers, etc.)?

And out of curiosity, what are "many of the other opensource IdPs"?
I didn't even know there where many other opensource IdPs? :)
Even the more obscure ones (zxid?) seem to be SAML2 capable?

If the aim for this Java SP is to gain a maximum share of the SAML SP
"market" in the Java world, including support for SAML1 probably won't
hurt.
Personally I'd rather conceal there ever was something like SAML1.
