==============================ECLIPSE===========================================

If you use Eclipse for Jave EE, you can simply import the generated project
into Eclipse. We've tested against Eclipse 3.6. Later versions will likely also
work, earlier versions may not. 

Eclipse users will need to install the following plugin components:
- m2eclipse Core
- Maven Integration for WTP (in m2eclipse extras), Instructions for installing
  the maven plugins can be found here:
  http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/installing-m2eclipse.html

Ensure Eclipse is configured to use Java 1.6 as this sample uses AppEngine.

In Eclipse, go to the File menu and choose:
- File -> Import... -> Existing Maven Projects into Workspace
- Select the directory containing this file.
- Click Finish.

You can now browse the project in Eclipse. To compile your project for
deployment, just type 'mvn package'.

==============================NETBEANS==========================================
