Historic Product Platforms

The Java product platforms described on this page have no currently supported Shibboleth products associated with them, and are therefore of only historic interest.

Java 8 Platform

The Java 8 platform was based on Java 8 as both a development and execution environment.

This was an interim platform used during the development transition from Java 7 to Java 11. We do not plan to release any products using this platform.

Java 7 Platform

The Java 7 platform (also referred to as the V3 platform after the related Shibboleth IdP version) is based on Java 7 as both a development and execution environment.

This platform is used by the following preview product:

  • Metadata Aggregator v0.9.2

It was also used by the following products which have reached their end-of-life date and are no longer supported:

  • Identity Provider v3.x

  • OpenSAML v3.x

  • Java XML Security Tool v2.x 

The following execution environments are supported by this product platform:

  • Java 7

  • Java 8

  • Java 11

Java 6 Platform

The Java 6 platform (also referred to as the V2 platform) was based on a minimum of Java 6 as both a development and execution environment. It was used by the V2 Shibboleth Identity Provider. It is not used by any currently supported Shibboleth products.
