## Welcome to the Apache BVal project

Apache BVal delivers an implementation of the
[Bean Validation Specification (JSR303)](http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=303),
which is TCK compliant and works on Java SE 5 or later.  The initial
codebase for the project was donated to the ASF by a SGA from Agimatec GmbH
and uses the Apache Software License v2.0.  After a successful
[incubation](http://incubator.apache.org),
Apache BVal became a top-level project of the ASF on February 15, 2012.
