+# http://sigil.codecauldron.org
+
+This example is based on the Ivy Tutorial multi-project example:
+http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/latest-milestone/tutorial/multiproject.html
+
+Dependencies are resolved using an OBR index for the Spring repository,
+hosted at sigil.codecauldron.org.
+
+projects/sigil-defaults.properties specifies default package version ranges,
+which are inherited by the -imports in sigil.properties.
+
+1. set ivy.jar location in common/build.properties
+
+2. test build order (determined automatically from the dependencies)
+$ ant order
+
+3. build
+$ ant publish
+
