+Building Apache ServiceMix Kernel
+===================================
+
+Initial Setup
+-------------
+
+1) Install J2SE 5.0 SDK, which can be downloaded from
+ http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp. Use version of 1.5.0_06 JDK.
+
+2) Make sure that your JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to the newly installed
+ JDK location, and that your PATH includes %JAVA_HOME%\bin (windows) or
+ $JAVA_HOME$/bin (unix).
+
+3) Install Maven 2.0.7, which can be downloaded from
+ http://maven.apache.org/download.html. Make sure that your PATH includes
+ the MVN_HOME/bin directory.
+
+
+Building
+--------
+
+1) Change to the top level directory of Apache ServiceMix Kernel source distribution.
+2) Run
+ $> mvn
+ This will compile Apache ServiceMix Kernel and run all of the tests in the
+ Apache ServiceMix Kernel source distribution. Alternatively, you can run
+ $> mvn -Pfastinstall
+ This will compile Apache ServiceMix Kernel without running the tests and takes less
+ time to build.
+ Depending on the load of remote Maven 2.0 repositories, you may have
+ to run "mvn" several times until the required dependencies are
+ all located in your local maven repository. It usually takes some time for
+ maven to download required dependencies in the first build.
+3) The distributions will be available under "assembly/target" directory.
