The Spring Framework (http://www.springframework.org).

SOURCE RELEASES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have downloaded a spring-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 Spring Security, you must download
the full release or compile it from CVS. See the "Building" page
at http://acegisecurity.org for further details. There is also a "Download"
link if you would prefer to download an already compiled release.
