+
+Build Process
+-------------
+
+In order to build Geomajas, we recommend using Maven (see http://maven.apache.org/). Following Maven best practices, the pom.xml files do not contain any Maven repositories.
+
+You'll have to add the Geomajas Maven repository (http://maven.geomajas.org/) to your settings.xml file, which can be located in:
+
+<pre>~/.m2/settings.xml</pre>
+
+Next go to the root of the source code and run:
+
+<pre>mvn install</pre>
