+This directory contains a simple API for instrumenting java applications.
+
+Configuration examples to build this library:
+
+dependency: openjdk-7-jdk
+./configure --enable-jni-interface
+
+Note that the OpenJDK 7 is used for development and continuous integration thus
+we directly support that version for this library. However, it has been tested
+with OpenJDK 6 also. Please let us know if other Java version (commercial or
+not) work with this library.
+
+After building, you can use the liblttng-ust-java.jar file in a Java project.
+It requires the liblttng-ust-java.so* files (which get installed when doing
+`make install') so make sure those are in the linker's library path.
