Code of Conduct
Please see our code of conduct
Downloading Artifacts
See Getting Spring Security for how to obtain Spring Security.
Documentation
Be sure to read the Spring Security Reference. Extensive JavaDoc for the Spring Security code is also available in the Spring Security API Documentation.
Quick Start
See Hello Spring Security to get started with a "Hello, World" application.
Building from Source
Spring Security uses a Gradle-based build system.
In the instructions below, ./gradlew is invoked from the root of the source tree and serves as
a cross-platform, self-contained bootstrap mechanism for the build.
Prerequisites
Git and the JDK17 build.
Be sure that your JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the jdk-17 folder extracted from the JDK download.
Check out sources
git clone git@github.com:spring-projects/spring-security.git
Install all spring-*.jar into your local Maven repository.
./gradlew publishToMavenLocal
Compile and test; build all JARs, distribution zips, and docs
./gradlew build
The reference docs are not currently included in the distribution zip. You can build the reference docs for this branch by running the following command:
./gradlew :spring-security-docs:antora
That command publishes the docs site to the docs/build/site directory.
The playbook branch describes how to build the reference docs in detail.
Discover more commands with ./gradlew tasks.
Getting Support
Check out the Spring Security tags on Stack Overflow. Commercial support is available too.
