JSecurity becomes an Apache Incubator Project!

Dear JSecurity Community,

We have some very exciting news!

We're proud to announce that JSecurity has been voted in to the the Apache Incubator!

This will be a great benefit to you, our community, in many ways:

  • Further community adoption from the Apache organization, its members, and Apache end-users, engaging a wider user base.
  • Better and more diverse support as more people become contributors in the project
  • Apache infrastructure support (mailing lists, Jira, Confluence Wiki, etc).
  • Increased global adoption of JSecurity, improved support and testing, resulting in an even more stable framework.
  • When JSecurity graduates from the Incubator, it will be a part of the corporate-friendly and well-respected Apache family of Top Level Projects.

In the very near future, look out for a final 0.9 Release Candidate and then Final release. After this Final release, we will move all source code into the ASF Incubator and assume the org.apache.jsecurity.* namespace.

Thank you so much to our early adopters, especially the Grails community, for helping us make quite possibly the best and most enjoyable Java security framework today.

Best Regards,

Les
