Released April 13, 2012 Available at the [Apache release archive](http://archive.apache.org/dist/bval/0.4). #### Apache Bean Validation 0.3-incubating - Released April 28, 2011 Available at the [Apache release archive](http://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/bval/0.3-incubating). #### Apache Bean Validation 0.2-incubating -

You'll need to add the following dependencies in your builds (and Maven will automatically include the additional transitive dependencies for you) - org.apache.geronimo.specs geronimo-validation_1.0_spec 1.1 org.apache.bval org.apache.bval.bundle 0.4 Maven will determine the transitive dependencies for the artifacts, but if you are not using Maven to build your project, then you will also need the following dependencies on the classpath: commons-lang commons-lang 2.4 org.slf4j slf4j-simple 1.6.1 commons-beanutils commons-beanutils 1.8.3 commons-collections commons-collections 3.2.1 ### Verifying Releases It is essential that you verify the integrity of any downloaded files using the PGP or MD5 signatures. For more information on signing artifacts and why we do it, check out the [Release Signing FAQ](http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html). The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First download the [KEYS](http://www.apache.org/dist/bval/KEYS) as well as the asc signature file for the artifact. Make sure you get these files from the [main distribution directory](http://www.apache.org/dist/bval/), rather than from a [mirror](http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/bval/). Then verify the signatures using: $ pgpk -a KEYS $ pgpv bval-parent-0.4-source-release.zip.asc or $ pgp -ka KEYS $ pgp bval-parent-0.4-source-release.zip.asc or $ gpg --import KEYS $ gpg --verify bval-parent-0.4-source-release.zip.asc Alternatively, you can verify the MD5 signature on the files. A Unix/Linux program called `md5` or `md5sum` is included in most distributions. It is also available as part of [GNU Textutils](http://www.gnu.org/software/textutils/textutils.html). Windows users can get binary md5 programs from these (and likely other) places: * * *
