Is there a Java equivalent/implementation of cracklib?

Question

I need to implement minimum password complexity checking in a Java web application (Spring/Hibernate). It seems that on Linux I could use pam_cracklib, but is there a pure Java alternative?

Answer 1

There is PasswordCheck, a pure java password strengh checker. It's configurable so you can define what a strong password should look like, but documentation seems a bit lacking.
