Be sure to read the http://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/[Spring Security Reference].
Extensive JavaDoc for the Spring Security code is also available in the http://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/apidocs/[Spring Security API Documentation].

== Quick Start
We recommend you visit http://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/[Spring Security Reference] and read the "Getting Started" page.

== Building from Source
Spring Security uses a http://gradle.org[Gradle]-based build system.
In the instructions below, http://vimeo.com/34436402[`./gradlew`] is invoked from the root of the source tree and serves as
a cross-platform, self-contained bootstrap mechanism for the build.

=== Prerequisites
http://help.github.com/set-up-git-redirect[Git] and the http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads[JDK7 build].

Be sure that your `JAVA_HOME` environment variable points to the `jdk1.7.0` folder extracted from the JDK download.
