+ ACEGI SECURITY SYSTEM FOR SPRING - README FILE
+===============================================================================
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+OVERVIEW
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The Acegi Security System for Spring provides security services for
+The Spring Framework (http://www.springframework.org).
+
+For a detailed list of features and access to the latest release, please visit
+http://acegisecurity.sourceforge.net.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+SOURCE RELEASES
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+If you have downloaded an acegi-security-xx-src.zip, you will NOT be able to
+compile the project. The -src releases are intended for source code review
+and IDE integration only. If you wish to use Acegi Security, you must download
+the full release or compile it from CVS. See the "Building with Maven" page
+at http://acegisecurity.sourceforge.net for further details. There is also
+a "Download" link if you would prefer to download an already compiled release.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+OBTAINING SUPPORT
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+If you need any help, please use the Acegi Security System for Spring forum
+located at the Spring Community's forum site:
+
+ http://forum.springframework.org
+
+If you start using Acegi Security in your project, please consider joining
+the acegisecurity-developer mailing list. This is currently the best way to
+keep informed about the project's status and provide feedback in design
+discussions. You can join at:
+
+ https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/acegisecurity-developer.
+
+Links to mailing list archives, the forums, and other useful resources are
+available from http://acegisecurity.sourceforge.net.
