                          Hibernate Validator

  What is it?
  -----------

  This is the reference implementation of JSR 303 - Bean Validation. 
  Bean Validation defines a metadata model and API for JavaBean validation. 
  The default metadata source is annotations, with the ability to override and extend 
  the meta-data through the use of XML validation descriptors.

  History
  -------

  Prior to version 4.x Hibernate Validators was based on a different source base which 
  is not based on JSR 303. This code can be accessed via
