 mainly intended for the distribution and maintenance of the collection of files
 that make up an application.
 
-It was designed as a replacement for Java Web Start due to limitations in Java
-Web Start's architecture which are outlined in the rationale section.
+See the Google Code project for documentation and other information:

-now, check the examples on the design page (URL above) and post questions to
-the Game Gardens forums:

-
-How do I compile it?
---------------------
-You will need to download the library dependencies which are enumerated in
-lib/LIBS. And then you can use Ant to build Getdown like so:
-
-% ant dist (builds the main jar file)
-% ant proguard (builds the dependency includede, deployment jar file)
-
-Is it free?
------------
-Yes! Getdown is released under a BSD license. The most recent version should
-always be available here:

-
-Where can I see it in action?
------------------------------
-Getdown was originally written by developers at Three Rings Design for the
-deployment of their Java-based massively multiplayer game Puzzle Pirates. You
-can download and install Puzzle Pirates or Bang! Howdy to see Getdown in use in
-a production environment.
-
-Getting Getdown
----------------
-Getdown is available in source code form via Subversion:
-
-% svn checkout svn://code.threerings.net/getdown/trunk getdown
-
-Precompiled jar files are also available:
-
-* http://www.threerings.net/code/getdown/getdown/dist/getdown-pro.jar
-
-  This version contains all dependencies and has been reduced in size using
-  Proguard. You can stick this into a distribution that uses JDK 1.5 and use it
-  directly.
-
-* http://www.threerings.net/code/getdown/getdown/dist/getdown-retro-pro.jar
-
-  This version contains all dependencies and has been modified to be backwards
