+This is an example showing how to embed ServiceMix Kernel in a web application.
+You can either:
+  * build the web app using "mvn package" and deploy the web application to your favorite web container
+  * run the web app from the command line using the "mvn package jetty:run" command
+  
+Once the web application is started, you can use the Apache ServiceMix Kernel client to connect to the running server:
+  cd [smx-kernel-install-dir]
+  java -jar lib/servicemix-client.jar
+
