-_Have something you'd like to contribute to the framework? We welcome pull requests, but ask that you carefully read this document first to understand how best to submit them; what kind of changes are likely to be accepted; and what to expect from the Spring Security team when evaluating your submission._
-
-_Please refer back to this document as a checklist before issuing any pull request; this will save time for everyone!_
-
-= Code of Conduct
-
-Please see our https://github.com/spring-projects/.github/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md[code of conduct].
-
-= Similar but different
-
-Each Spring module is slightly different from one another in terms of team size, number of issues, etc. Therefore, each project is managed slightly different. You will notice that this document is very similar to the https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/wiki/Contributor-guidelines[Spring Framework Contributor guidelines]. However, there are some subtle differences between the two documents, so please be sure to read this document thoroughly.
-
-= Importing into IDE
-
-The following provides information on setting up a development environment that can run the sample in https://www.springsource.org/sts[Spring Tool Suite 3.6.0+]. Other IDE's should work using Gradle's IDE support, but have not been tested.
-
-* IDE Setup
-** Install Spring Tool Suite 3.6.0+
-** You will need the following plugins installed (can be found on the Extensions Page)
-*** Gradle Eclipse
-*** Groovy Eclipse
-* Importing the project into Spring Tool Suite
-** File -> Import… -> Gradle Project
-
-As of new versions of Spring Tool Suite, you might need to install Groovy Eclipse pointing directly to the updated plugin location. To install Groovy Eclipse on Spring Tool Suite based on Eclipse Oxigen you must do the following steps:
-
-Help -> Install New Software… -> Add the following URL into _Work with_ field:
-https://dist.springsource.org/snapshot/GRECLIPSE/e4.7/[https://dist.springsource.org/snapshot/GRECLIPSE/e4.7/]
-
-= Understand the basics
-
-Not sure what a pull request is, or how to submit one? Take a look at GitHub's excellent https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests[help documentation first].
-
-= Search GitHub issues; create an issue if necessary
-
-Is there already an issue that addresses your concern? Do a bit of searching in our https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-security/issues[GitHub issues] to see if you can find something similar. If not, please create a new issue before submitting a pull request unless the change is not a user facing issue.
-
-= Discuss non-trivial contribution ideas with committers
-
-If you're considering anything more than correcting a typo or fixing a minor bug, please discuss it on the https://gitter.im/spring-projects/spring-security[Spring Security Gitter] before submitting a pull request. We're happy to provide guidance but please spend an hour or two researching the subject on your own including searching the forums for prior discussions.
-
-= Sign the Contributor License Agreement
-
-If you have not previously done so, please fill out and submit the https://cla.pivotal.io/sign/spring[Contributor License Agreement].
-
-= Create your branch from master
-
-Create your topic branch to be submitted as a pull request from master. The Spring team will consider your pull request for backporting on a case-by-case basis; you don't need to worry about submitting anything for backporting.
-
-= Use short branch names
-
-Branches used when submitting pull requests should preferably be named according to GitHub issues, e.g. `gh-1234` or `gh-1234-fix-npe`. Otherwise, use succinct, lower-case, dash (`-`) delimited names, such as `fix-warnings` or `fix-typo`. This is important, because branch names show up in the merge commits that result from accepting pull requests, and should be as expressive and concise as possible.
-
-= Keep commits focused
-
-Remember each ticket should be focused on a single item of interest since the tickets are used to produce the changelog. Since each commit should be tied to a single GitHub issue, ensure that your commits are focused. For example, do not include an update to a transitive library in your commit unless the GitHub is to update the library. Reviewing your commits is essential before sending a pull request.
-
-= Mind the whitespace
-
-Please carefully follow the whitespace and formatting conventions already present in the framework.
-
-. Tabs, not spaces
-. Unix (LF), not dos (CRLF) line endings
-. Eliminate all trailing whitespace
-. Aim to wrap code at 120 characters, but favor readability over wrapping
-. Preserve existing formatting; i.e. do not reformat code for its own sake
-. Search the codebase using `git grep` and other tools to discover common naming conventions, etc.
-. UTF-8 encoding for Java sources and XML files
-
-Whitespace management tips
-
-. You can use the https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/anyedit-tools[AnyEdit Eclipse plugin] to ensure spaces are used and to clean up trailing whitespaces.
-. Use Git's `pre-commit.sample` hook to prevent invalid whitespace from being pushed out. You can enable it by moving `.git/hooks/pre-commit.sample` to `.git/hooks/pre-commit` and ensuring it is executable. For more information on hooks refer to https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Hooks[https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Hooks].
-
-= Add Apache license header to all new classes

- * WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied.
- * See the License for the specific language governing permissions and
- * limitations under the License.
- */
-
-package ...;
----
-
-= Update Apache license header to modified files as necessary
-
-Always check the date range in the license header. For example, if you've modified a file in 2020 whose header still reads
-
----
- * Copyright 2002-2012 the original author or authors.
----
-
-then be sure to update it to the current year appropriately (e.g. 2020)
-
----
- * Copyright 2002-2020 the original author or authors.
----
-
-= Use @since tags for newly-added public API types and methods
-
-Example:
-
----
-/**
- * …
- *
- * @author First Last
- * @since 5.4
- * @see …
- */
----
-
-= Submit JUnit test cases for all behavior changes
-
-Search the codebase to find related unit tests and add additional `@Test` methods within.
-
-. Any new tests should end in the name `Tests` (note this is plural). For example, a valid name would be `FilterChainProxyTests`. An invalid name would be `FilterChainProxyTest`.
-. New test methods should not start with test. This is an old JUnit3 convention and is not necessary since the method is annotated with `@Test`.
-
-= Update spring-security-x.y.rnc for schema changes
-
-Update the https://www.relaxng.org[RELAX NG] schema `spring-security-x.y.rnc` instead of `spring-security-x.y.xsd` if you contribute changes to supported XML configuration. The XML schema file can be generated the following Gradle task:
-
-Changes to the XML schema will be overwritten by the Gradle build task.
-
-= Squash commits
-
-Use `git rebase --interactive`, `git add --patch` and other tools to "squash" multiple commits into atomic changes. In addition to the man pages for `git`, there are https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Rewriting-History[many resources online] to help you understand how these tools work.
-
-= Use real name in git commits
-
-Please configure Git to use your real first and last name for any commits you intend to submit as pull requests. Make sure the name is properly capitalized as submitted to the https://cla.pivotal.io[Pivotal Contributor License Agreement]:
-
----
-First Last <user@mail.com>
----
-
-This helps ensure traceability against the CLA, and also goes a long way to ensuring useful output from tools like Git shortlog and others.
-
-You can configure this globally:
-
----
-git config --global user.name "First Last"
-git config --global user.email user@example.com
----
-
-or locally for the current repository by omitting the `--global` flag:
-
----
-git config user.name "First Last"
-git config user.email user@example.com
----
-
-= Format commit messages
-
-. Keep the subject line to 50 characters or less if possible
-. Do not end the subject line with a period
-. In the body of the commit message, explain how things worked before this commit, what has changed, and how things work now
-. Include `Closes gh-<issue-number>` at the end if this fixes a GitHub issue
-. Avoid markdown, including back-ticks identifying code
-
-Example:
-
----
-Short (50 chars or less) summary of changes
-
-More detailed explanatory text, if necessary.  Wrap it to about 72
-characters or so.  In some contexts, the first line is treated as the
-subject of an email and the rest of the text as the body. The blank
-line separating the summary from the body is critical (unless you omit
-the body entirely); tools like rebase can get confused if you run the
-two together.
-
-Further paragraphs come after blank lines.
-
- - Bullet points are okay, too
-
- - Typically a hyphen or asterisk is used for the bullet, preceded by a
-   single space, with blank lines in between, but conventions vary here
-
-Closes gh-123
----
-
-
-= Run all tests prior to submission
-
----
-./gradlew clean build integrationTest
----
-
-= Submit your pull request
-
-*Subject line:*
-
-Follow the same conventions for pull request subject lines as mentioned above for commit message subject lines.
-
-*In the body:*
-
-. Explain your use case. What led you to submit this change? Why were existing mechanisms in the framework insufficient? Make a case that this is a general-purpose problem and that yours is a general-purpose solution, etc
-. Add any additional information and ask questions; start a conversation, or continue one from GitHub Issues
-. Mention any GitHub Issues
-. Also mention that you have submitted the CLA as described above
-Note that for pull requests containing a single commit, GitHub will default the subject line and body of the pull request to match the subject line and body of the commit message. This is fine, but please also include the items above in the body of the request.
-
-= Mention your pull request on the associated GitHub issue
-
-Add a comment to the associated GitHub issue(s) linking to your new pull request.
-
-= Expect discussion and rework
-
-The Spring team takes a very conservative approach to accepting contributions to the framework. This is to keep code quality and stability as high as possible, and to keep complexity at a minimum. Your changes, if accepted, may be heavily modified prior to merging. You will retain "Author:" attribution for your Git commits granted that the bulk of your changes remain intact. You may be asked to rework the submission for style (as explained above) and/or substance. Again, we strongly recommend discussing any serious submissions with the Spring Framework team prior to engaging in serious development work.
-
-Note that you can always force push (`git push -f`) reworked / rebased commits against the branch used to submit your pull request. i.e. you do not need to issue a new pull request when asked to make changes.

+This helps ensure traceability against the CLA, and also goes a long way to ensuring useful output from tools like git shortlog and others.
+
+You can configure this globally via the account admin area GitHub (useful for fork-and-edit cases); globally with
+
+<pre>
+git config --global user.name "First Last"
+git config --global user.email user@mail.com
+</pre>
+
+or locally for the spring-security repository only by omitting the '--global' flag:
+<pre>
+cd spring-security
+git config user.name "First Last"
+git config user.email user@mail.com
+</pre>
+
+# Format commit messages
+
+<pre>
+Short (50 chars or less) summary of changes
+
+More detailed explanatory text, if necessary.  Wrap it to about 72
+characters or so.  In some contexts, the first line is treated as the
+subject of an email and the rest of the text as the body.  The blank
+line separating the summary from the body is critical (unless you omit
+the body entirely); tools like rebase can get confused if you run the
+two together.
+
+Further paragraphs come after blank lines.
+
+ - Bullet points are okay, too
+
+ - Typically a hyphen or asterisk is used for the bullet, preceded by a
+   single space, with blank lines in between, but conventions vary here
+
+Fixes gh-123
+</pre>
+
+
+1. Keep the subject line to 50 characters or less if possible
+2. Do not end the subject line with a period
+3. In the body of the commit message, explain how things worked before this commit, what has changed, and how things work now
+3. Include Fixes gh-<issue-number> at the end if this fixes a GitHub issue  
+
+# Run all tests prior to submission
+
+<pre>
+cd spring-security
+./gradlew clean build integrationTest
+</pre>
+
+# Submit your pull request
+Subject line:
+
+Follow the same conventions for pull request subject lines as mentioned above for commit message subject lines.
+
+In the body:
+
+1. Explain your use case. What led you to submit this change? Why were existing mechanisms in the framework insufficient? Make a case that this is a general-purpose problem and that yours is a general-purpose solution, etc
+2. Add any additional information and ask questions; start a conversation, or continue one from GitHub Issues
+3. Mention any GitHub Issues
+4. Also mention that you have submitted the CLA as described above
+Note that for pull requests containing a single commit, GitHub will default the subject line and body of the pull request to match the subject line and body of the commit message. This is fine, but please also include the items above in the body of the request.
+
+# Mention your pull request on the associated GitHub issue
+Add a comment to the associated GitHub issue(s) linking to your new pull request.
+
+# Expect discussion and rework
+The Spring team takes a very conservative approach to accepting contributions to the framework. This is to keep code quality and stability as high as possible, and to keep complexity at a minimum. Your changes, if accepted, may be heavily modified prior to merging. You will retain "Author:" attribution for your Git commits granted that the bulk of your changes remain intact. You may be asked to rework the submission for style (as explained above) and/or substance. Again, we strongly recommend discussing any serious submissions with the Spring Framework team prior to engaging in serious development work.
+
+Note that you can always force push (git push -f) reworked / rebased commits against the branch used to submit your pull request. i.e. you do not need to issue a new pull request when asked to make changes.

-      the copyright owner that is granting the License.
-
-      "Legal Entity" shall mean the union of the acting entity and all
-      other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common
-      control with that entity. For the purposes of this definition,
-      "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
-      direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
-      otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
-      outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
-
-      "You" (or "Your") shall mean an individual or Legal Entity
-      exercising permissions granted by this License.
-
-      "Source" form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications,
-      including but not limited to software source code, documentation
-      source, and configuration files.
-
-      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
-      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
-      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
-      and conversions to other media types.
-
-      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
-      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
-      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
-      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
-
-      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
-      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
-      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
-      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
-      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
-      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
-      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
-
-      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
-      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
-      to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
-      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
-      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
-      the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"

-
-      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
-      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and

-      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
-      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
-      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
-      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
-      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
-
-   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
-      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
-      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
-      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
-      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
-      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
-      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
-      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
-      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
-      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
-      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
-      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
-      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
-      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
-      as of the date such litigation is filed.
-
-   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
-      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
-      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
-      meet the following conditions:
-
-      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
-          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
-
-      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
-          stating that You changed the files; and
-
-      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
-          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
-          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
-          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
-          the Derivative Works; and
-
-      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
-          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
-          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
-          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
-          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
-          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
-          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
-          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
-          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
-          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
-          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
-          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
-          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
-          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
-          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
-          as modifying the License.
-
-      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
-      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
-      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
-      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
-      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
-      the conditions stated in this License.
-
-   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
-      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
-      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
-      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
-      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
-      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
-      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
-
-   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
-      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
-      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
-      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
-
-   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
-      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
-      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
-      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
-      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
-      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
-      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
-      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
-      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
-
-   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
-      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
-      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
-      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
-      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
-      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
-      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
-      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
-      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
-      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
-      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
-
-   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
-      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
-      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
-      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
-      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
-      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
-      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
-      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
-      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
-      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
-
-   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-
-   APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.
-
-      To apply the Apache License to your work, attach the following
-      boilerplate notice, with the fields enclosed by brackets "{}"
-      replaced with your own identifying information. (Don't include
-      the brackets!)  The text should be enclosed in the appropriate
-      comment syntax for the file format. We also recommend that a
-      file or class name and description of purpose be included on the
-      same "printed page" as the copyright notice for easier
-      identification within third-party archives.
