+Building
+--------
+
+Building the library is very simple. First ensure that the necessary third
+party jar files are available either in the lib/ directory or in the
+system wide jar file location specified in build.xml. See lib/README for a
+list of the necessary third party jar files and how to get them.
+
+The library is built using ant, a modern build tool available from The
+Jakarta Project. If you aren't already using ant for other projects, it
+can be found here:
+
+  http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/
+
+Invoke ant with any of the following targets:
+
+  all: builds the class files and javadoc documentation
+  compile: builds only the class files (dist/classes)
+  javadoc: builds only the javadoc documentation (dist/docs)
+  dist: builds the distribution jar file (dist/samskivert.jar)
+
+Look at the build.xml file for configurable build parameters.
