Spring source for minor spring projects and many others !

A while ago I struggled to find a Spring security test class TestingAuthenticationToken following an upgrade to spring-security from acegi.

Turned out it had been moved out of the standard release causing my tests to fail with a ClassNotFoundException. You will find it in spring-security-core-x.y.z-tests.jar for the relevant version.

Similarly, I wanted to see the source for a test class
org.springframework.test.AbstractTransactionalDataSourceSpringContextTests. This again can found on the same site as can the source for all spring modules. The root for spring modules is here.

Being more nosey you will find the source for may other projects (such as apache, eclipse, dbunit) by navigating further up the tree. Happy hunting.
