+Building the eclim installer
+****************************
+
+Unless you are working on improvements to the eclim installer, you
+shouldn't ever need to build it, but should the need arise here are
+the instructions for doing so.
+
+To build the installer you first need a couple external tools
+installed:
+
+- sphinx (http://sphinx-doc.org): Sphinx is used to build the eclim
+  documentation which is included in the installer.
+  Eclim also uses a custom sphinx theme which is included in eclim as
+  a git submodule. So before you can build the installer you will need
+  to initialize the submodule:
+
+  >
+     $ git submodule init
+     $ git submodule update
+
+  <
+
+- graphviz (http://www.graphviz.org/):  The docs include a few uml
+  diagrams which are generated using plantuml
+  (http://plantuml.sourceforge.net/) (included in the eclim source
+  tree) which in turn requires graphviz (http://www.graphviz.org/).
+- formic (http://github.com/ervandew/formic): The eclim installer
+  has been developed using the formic framework, and requires it to
+  build the installer distributables.  Formic doesn't currently have
+  an official release, so you'll need to check out the source code:
+  >
+     $ git clone git://github.com/ervandew/formic.git
+
+  <
+
+  After checking out the code, you'll need to build the formic
+  distribution:
+
+  >
+     $ cd formic
+     $ ant dist
+
+  <
+
+  Then extract the formic tar to the location of your choice
+
+  >
+     $ tar -zxvf build/dist/formic-0.2.0.tar.gz -C /location/of/your/choice
+
+  <
+
+Once you have installed the above dependencies, you can then build the
+eclim installer with the following command.
+
+>
+
+   $ ant -Dformic.home=/your/formic/install/dir dist
+
+<
+
+
+In lieu of supplying the formic home on the command line, you can
+instead put it in a user.properties file at the eclim source root:
+
+>
+
+   $ vim user.properties
+   formic.home=/your/formic/install/dir
+
+<
