Hibernate Validator releases are consumable in 2 different formats:

Distribution bundle

Distribution bundles are hosted on SourceForge File Release System. They come as both ZIP and TGZ archives.  They contain jars, documentation, source code, etc.

There you also find the distribution bundles for the Bean Validation TCK.
