+ Spring Security Dependencies
+
+
+ This appendix provides a reference of the modules in Spring Security and the additional
+ dependencies that they require in order to function in a running application. We don't include
+ dependenices that are only used when building or testing Spring Security itself. Nor do we include
+ transitive dependencies which are required by external dependencies.
+
+ The version of Spring required is listed on the project website, so the specific versions are omitted
+ for Spring dependencies below. Note that some of the dependencies listed as optional
+ below may still be required for other non-security functionality in a Spring application.
+
+ Where a module depends on another Spring Security module, the non-optional dependencies of the
+ module it depends on are also assumed to be required and are not listed separately.
+
