The new Java “service” that will replacing the existing dependencies is in the java-plugin-shibd.git repository with the unwieldy placeholder name of Shibboleth SP Service.
Protocol support will be added via additional plugins, starting with SAML (java-plugin-shibd-saml.git). OpenID will come later on in the cycle via a similar plugin project.
The existing cpp-sp.git repository will continue to exist and work will be is being done on a the main branch for now. I suspect we may start over to produce the new agents by cloning the old repo.
