+Maven Java application
+----------------------
+
+This project demonstrates the usage of Bazel to retrieve dependencies from
+Maven repositories.
+
+To build this example, you will need to
+[install Bazel](http://bazel.io/docs/install.html).
+
+The Java application makes use of a library in [Guava](https://github.com/google/guava), which is downloaded from a remote repository using Maven.
+
+This application demonstrates the usage of rules `maven_jar` and `maven_server` to configure dependencies. The dependencies are configured in the `WORKSPACE` file.
+
+Build the application by running:
+
+```
+$ bazel build :java-maven
+```
+
+Test the application by running:
+
+```
+$ bazel test :tests
+```
