+# DendroDocs Java Tool
+
+[![Maven Central Version][MAVEN_BADGE]][MAVEN_FEED] [![Coverage Status][COVERALLS_BADGE]][COVERALLS_LINK]
+
+**dev.dendrodocs.tool** is a command-line tool for analyzing Java projects and generating structured JSON output.
+It forms an integral part of the DendroDocs ecosystem, providing an easy way to bridge the gap between your Java code and up-to-date, detailed documentation.
+
+## Features
+
+A command-line tool that analyzes Java projects and produces a JSON file that follows the schema defined in the [DendroDocs Schema](https://github.com/dendrodocs/schema) repository.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+* JDK 21 or newer.
+
+## Installation
+
+To install **dev.dendrodocs.tool**, you can fetch it directly via Maven:
+
+```bash
+mvn dependency:get -Dartifact="dev.dendrodocs:tool:LATEST:jar"
+```
+
+This will download the tool and store it in your local Maven repository.
+
+## Usage
+
+Once installed, you can run the tool using the following command, in PowerShell:
+
+```powershell
+java -jar "$env:USERPROFILE\.m2\repository\dev\dendrodocs\tool\0.1.0\tool-0.1.0.jar" --project "G:\DendroDocs\java-tool\" --output "java-tool.json" --pretty
+```
+
+This command will analyze the Java project located at `G:\DendroDocs\java-tool\`, generate a pretty-printed JSON file named `java-tool.json`, and store it in the current directory.
+
+### Viewing the Output
+
+To quickly preview the first few lines of the generated JSON output, use the following PowerShell command:
+
+```powershell
+Get-Content -Path "java-tool.json" -Head 8
+```
+
+Output
+
+```json
+[ {
+  "FullName" : "dev.dendrodocs.tool.descriptions.ForEachDescriptionJsonTest",
+  "Fields" : [ {
+    "Name" : "mapper",
+    "Modifiers" : 132,
+    "Type" : "com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper",
+    "Initializer" : "new ObjectMapper()"
+  } ],
+```
+
+This JSON output contains detailed descriptions of your Java classes, including fields, methods, types, and modifiers.
