Spring Security provides security services for the Spring IO Platform. Spring Security 6.0 requires Spring 6.0 as a minimum and also requires Java 17.
For a detailed list of features and access to the latest release, please visit Spring projects.
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
Be sure that your JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the jdk-17 folder extracted from the JDK download.
Compile and test; build all JARs, distribution zips, and docs
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.
