     <para> There are several sample web applications that are available with the project. To avoid
         an overly large download, only the "tutorial" and "contacts" samples are included in the
-        distribution zip file. You can either build the others yourself, or you can obtain the war
-        files individually from the central Maven repository. We'd recommend the former. You can get
-        the source as described in <link xlink:href="#get-source">the introduction</link> and it's
-        easy to build the project yourself. There's more information on the project web site at
-        <link xlink:href="http://www.springsource.org/security/">
-        http://www.springsource.org/security/ </link>. All paths referred to in this
-        chapter are relative to the project source directory. </para>
