-Protocol Buffers - Google's data interchange format
-Copyright 2008 Google Inc.
-
-This directory contains the Java Protocol Buffers runtime library.
-
-Installation - With Maven
-=========================
-
-The Protocol Buffers build is managed using Maven.  If you would
-rather build without Maven, see the next section.
-
-1) Install Apache Maven if you don't have it:
-
-     http://maven.apache.org/
-
-2) Build the C++ code, or obtain a binary distribution of protoc.  If
-   you install a binary distribution, make sure that it is the same
-   version as this package.  If in doubt, run:
-
-     $ protoc --version
-
-   You will need to place the protoc executable in ../src.  (If you
-   built it yourself, it should already be there.)
-
-3) Run the tests:
-
-     $ mvn test
-
-   If some tests fail, this library may not work correctly on your
-   system.  Continue at your own risk.
-
-4) Install the library into your Maven repository:
-
-     $ mvn install
-
-5) If you do not use Maven to manage your own build, you can build a
-   .jar file to use:
-
-     $ mvn package
-
-   The .jar will be placed in the "target" directory.
-
-Installation - Without Maven
-============================
-
-If you would rather not install Maven to build the library, you may
-follow these instructions instead.  Note that these instructions skip
-running unit tests.
-
-1) Build the C++ code, or obtain a binary distribution of protoc.  If
-   you install a binary distribution, make sure that it is the same
-   version as this package.  If in doubt, run:
-
-     $ protoc --version
-
-   If you built the C++ code without installing, the compiler binary
-   should be located in ../src.
-
-2) Invoke protoc to build DescriptorProtos.java:
-
-     $ protoc --java_out=src/main/java -I../src \
-         ../src/google/protobuf/descriptor.proto
-
-3) Compile the code in src/main/java using whatever means you prefer.
-
-4) Install the classes wherever you prefer.
-
