+Getting Started
+===============
+
+Apache Jackrabbit is an effort undergoing incubation at the
+Apache Software Foundation. Incubation is required of all newly
+accepted projects until a further review indicates that the
+infrastructure, communications, and decision making process
+have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful
+ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a
+reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it
+does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed
+by the ASF.  The incubation status is recorded at
+
+   http://incubator.apache.org/projects/jackrabbit.html
+
+To get involved with the Jackrabbit project, start by having a
+look at our website (link at top of page) and join our mailing
+lists by sending an empty message to
+
+   jackrabbit-dev-subscribe     :at: incubator.apache.org
+and
+   jackrabbit-commits-subscribe :at: incubator.apache.org
+
+The Jackrabbit source code is available via Subversion at
+
+   https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/jackrabbit/trunk
+
+and anonymous access is available at
+
+   http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/jackrabbit/trunk
+
+or with viewcvs at
+
+   http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs/incubator/jackrabbit/trunk/
+
+Once you have a copy of the source code tree, you can use Apache Maven
+
+   http://maven.apache.org/
+
+to build the project.  After installing Maven 1.0, be sure to download the
+latest release of the Ant plugin (1.8.1 or later) using a command like
+
+   maven plugin:download -DgroupId=maven \
+         -DartifactId=maven-ant-plugin -Dversion=1.8.1
+
+before running one of the maven commands listed at
+
+   http://maven.apache.org/start/use.html
+
+to build the Jackrabbit project and/or documentation.
