+Documentation
+--------------
+All of our user documentation for the Qpid Java components can be accessed on our wiki at:
+
+http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/qpid/Qpid+Java+Documentation
+
+This includes a Getting Started Guide and FAQ as well as detailed developer documentation.
+However, here's a VERY quick guide to running the installed Qpid broker, once you have installed it somewhere !
+
+
+Running the Broker
+------------------
+
+To run the broker, set the QPID_HOME environment variable to
+distribution directory and add $QPID_HOME/bin to your PATH. Then run
+the qpid-server shell script or qpid-server.bat batch file to start
+the broker. By default, the broker will use $QPID_HOME/etc to find
+the configuration files. You can supply a custom configuration using
+the -c argument.
+
+For example:
+
+qpid-server -c ~/etc/config.xml
+
+You can get a list of all command line arguments by using the -h argument.
+
+
+Developing
+----------
+
+In order to build Qpid you need Ant 1.6.5. Use ant -p to list the
+available targets. The default ant target, build, creates a working
+development-mode distribution in the build directory. To run the
+scripts in build/bin set QPID_HOME to the build directory and put
+${QPID_HOME}/bin on your PATH. The scripts in that directory include
+the standard ones in the distribution and a number of testing scripts.
