To ensure that you have downloaded the true release, you should
[verify](https://www.apache.org/info/verification.html) the integrity of the
files using the signatures and checksums available in this page. All releases

+The signed source archives are the official Apache releases. The JARs linked
below are convenience binaries published to Maven Central. Library JARs are

automatically.
