+Bootstrapping Maven
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+To bootstrap Maven you must have a ~/maven.properties file with the following
+entries:
+
+maven.home = /path/to/your/maven/installation
+maven.repo.local = /path/to/your/local/repository
+
+Once you have your ~/maven.properties setup then:
+
+java -jar mboot.jar 
+
+Should do the trick to produce a working installation of Maven
+in ${maven.home}.
