-This folder contains all the required resources required to run the
-metadatatool application used in UK federation metadata signature.
-
-This bundle was originally derived from a version of the Shibboleth
-1.3 identity provider software.
-
-Contents:
-
-* The endorsed folder contains specific versions of Xerces and Xalan, and
-should be endorsed for the Java runtime.  Other versions of Xerces and
-Xalan, and in particular the ones built in to versions of the Java runtime,
-are known to give different results with this application.
-
-* The lib folder contains the shib-util.jar containing the implementation of
-metadatatool, along with all required dependencies.
-
-The main class to execute is edu.internet2.middleware.shibboleth.utils.MetadataTool
