<ul>
<li><b>It is ready NOW.</b> As explained in the reference guide, the API
is now quite stable. We also use the <ahref="http://apr.apache.org/versioning.html"class="externalLink"title="External Link">Apache APR Project
Versioning Guidelines</a> so you can identify backward
</li><li><b>Built by Maven:</b> This assists you in effectively reusing the Acegi
Security artifacts in your own Maven-based projects.<br></br><br></br>
</li><li><b>Supports your own unit tests:</b> We provide a number of classes
that assist with your own unit testing of secured business objects. For
example, you can change the authentication identity and its associated
granted authorities directly within your test methods.<br></br><br></br>
</li><li><b>Peer reviewed:</b> Whilst nothing is ever completely secure,
using an open source security package leverages the continuous design
and code quality improvements that emerge from peer review.<br></br><br></br>
</li><li><b>Thorough documentation:</b> All APIs are fully documented using
<ahref="http://acegisecurity.sourceforge.net/multiproject/acegi-security/apidocs/index.html"class="externalLink"title="External Link">JavaDoc</a>, with a 40+ page
<ahref="reference.html">Reference Guide</a> providing an easy-to-follow
introduction. More documentation is provided on this web site, as
shown in the left hand navigation sidebar.<br></br><br></br>
