I used dget
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~matthewv/javadebs/shibboleth-idp2_2.4.0-1.dsc

which downloaded the sources. But on trying to build it, i get some
maven errors, please see [0] for that.

Seems like maven is missing some artifacts which are not downloaded due
to working in offline mode. As I then tried to resolve the issue by
download some jar files manually and installing them via e.g

 mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.jcraft
-DartifactId=jsch.agentproxy.connector-factory -Dversion=debian
-Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/home/skainz/mv/svnkit-1.8.5.jar



i only get some 404 file not found issues.

So, what may i do to compile this from source?

Thanks in advance,

Simon
