+## Maven toolchain
+
+This project uses Maven Toolchain plugin.
+
+To compile it, you will need to define a toolchain like following in `~/.m2/toolchains.xml`:
+```xml
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF8"?>
+<toolchains>
+    <toolchain>
+        <type>jdk</type>
+        <provides>
+            <version>8</version>
+            <vendor>openjdk</vendor>
+        </provides>
+        <configuration>
+            <jdkHome>/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64</jdkHome>
+        </configuration>
+    </toolchain>
+</toolchains>
+```
