+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions

+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+

+Apache Flex BlazeDS
+==================
+
+    Apache Flex SDK is an application development framework for easily building
+    Flash-based applications for mobile devices, web browsers, and desktops.
+
+    Apache Flex BlazeDS is the server-based Java remoting and web messaging 
+    technology that enables developers to easily connect to back-end distributed 
+    data and push data in real-time to Adobe® Flex® and Adobe AIR™ applications 
+    for more responsive rich Internet application (RIA) experiences..
+
+    Apache Flex BlazeDS 4.7 is the initial release of BlazeDS from the Apache
+    Software Foundation.  Prior to this, releases were provided by Adobe
+    Systems Inc.  This version adds new features and implements bug fixes 
+    that were unavailable in previous versions.  It is compatible with most code 
+    written to target Adobe Flex 4.6.
+
+    For detailed information about Apache Flex please visit
+    http://flex.apache.org/
+
+    Apache Flex BlazeDS is a large project with many pieces.  The software is
+    implemented partially in ActionScript and partially in Java.
+
+    Currently supported platforms include:
+
+        Microsoft Windows
+        Mac OS X
+        Apple iOS
+        Google Android
+        RIM BlackBerry
+        Linux
+
+    Apache Flex is the software evolution of the popular Adobe BlazeDS project.
+
+    The community surrounding Flex is vast, diverse, distributed globally, and
+    with all levels of proficiency in software development.
+
+    There has been more that 30,000 installs of Apache Flex. The Apache Flex web
+    site gets 3 quarters of a million page views a year and more than 250,000
+    unique visitors a year.
+
+
+Getting the convenience packages for Apache Flex
+================================================
+
+    TBD
+
+Getting the latest sources via git
+==================================
+
+    Getting the source code is the recommended way to get Apache Flex BlazeDS.
+
+    You can always checkout the latest source via git using the following
+    command:
+
+	 git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/flex-blazeds.git blazeds
+	 cd blazeds
+	 git checkout develop
+
+    Apache Flex BlazeDS also requires source code from other Apache Flex git
+    repositories.  To get the latest source via git for the Apache Flex SDK
+    use the following command:
+
+	 git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/flex-sdk.git sdk
+	 cd sdk
+	 git checkout develop
+
+    Linux support is currently experimental and you may run into issues. Apache
+    Flex would like to see a fully supported Linux release, but we need support
+    from the community in order to do that. Please help out if you can.
+
+    For further information visit http://flex.apache.org/download-source.html
+
+Building Apache Flex BlazeDS 4.7
+================================
+
+    Apache Flex BlazeDS is a large project. It requires some build tools which must be
+    installed prior to building BlazeDS and it depends on some external software
+    which are downloaded as part of the build process.  Some of these have
+    different licenses.  See the Software Dependencies section for more
+    information on the external software dependencies.
+
+    From Apache's perspective, the Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR have
+    excluded licenses so they can not be bundled with the Apache Flex binaries.
+    They must be installed prior to building Apache Flex.
+
+    Linux support is currently experimental and while it is possible to compile
+    BlazeDS it has not been fully tested so you may run into issues.
+
+Install Prerequisites
+---------------------
+
+    Before building BlazeDS you must install the following software and set the
+    corresponding environment variables using absolute file paths.  Relative
+    file paths will result in build errors.
+
+    The environment variables PLAYERGLOBAL_HOME, AIR_HOME, FLASHPLAYER_DEBUGGER,
+    FLEX_HOME can also be set in the property file
+    called env.properties. See the env-template.properties file for
+    instructions.
+
+    The Adobe Flash Player playerglobal.swc is needed to compile all the
+    ActionScript components.  The Adobe Flash Player
+    content debugger is used by checkintests and other pieces of the test
+    subsystem to run compiled applications.
+
+    ==================================================================================
+    SOFTWARE                                    ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE (absolute paths)
+    ==================================================================================
+
+    Java SDK 1.6 or greater (*1)                JAVA_HOME
+        (for Java 1.7 see note at (*2))
+
+    Ant 1.7.1 or greater (*1)                   ANT_HOME
+        (for Java 1.7 see note at (*2))
+
+    Adobe AIR Integration Kit (*3)              AIR_HOME
+
+    Adobe Flash Player Content Debugger (*4)    FLASHPLAYER_DEBUGGER
+
+    Adobe Flash Player playerglobal swcs (*5)   PLAYERGLOBAL_HOME
+
+    Apache Flex SDK (*6)                        FLEX_HOME
+
+    ==================================================================================
+
+    *1) The bin directories for ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME should be added to your
+        PATH.
+
+        On Windows, set PATH to
+
+            PATH=%PATH%;%ANT_HOME%\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\bin
+
+        On the Mac (bash), set PATH to
+
+            export PATH="$PATH:$ANT_HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin"
+
+         On Linux make sure you path include ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME.
+
+    *2)  If you are using Java SDK 1.7 or greater on a Mac you must use Ant 1.8
+         or greater. If you use Java 1.7 with Ant 1.7, ant reports the java
+         version as 1.6 so the JVM args for the data model (-d32/-d64) will not
+         be set correctly and you will get compile errors.
+
+    *3) The Adobe AIR integration kit for Windows can be downloaded from:
+           http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/win/download/13.0/AdobeAIRSDK.zip
+
+         The Adobe AIR integration kit for Mac can be downloaded from:
+            http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/mac/download/13.0/AdobeAIRSDK.tbz2
+
+          The Adobe AIR integration kit for Linux can be downloaded from:
+            http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/lin/download/2.6/AdobeAIRSDK.tbz2
+
+        This version of Apache Flex was certified for use with AIR 13.0, and
+        should be compatible with other versions of AIR newer than 3.1. However
+        it hasn't been fully tested on AIR 3.2, 3.3, 3.5, 3.6 or 3.7.
+
+        Download the AIR SDK for your platform and unzip it. Set AIR_HOME to the
+        absolute path of the AIR SDK directory.
+
+    *4) The Adobe Flash Player content debuggers can be found here:
+            http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
+
+        This version of Apache Flex was certified for use with Adobe Flash
+        Player 11.1, and is compatible with versions 10.2 through 13.0. It has
+        been tested with versions 11.1, 11.7, 11.8, 11.9 and 12.0 on Windows
+        and Mac. It has been compiled against other Adobe Flash Player versions
+        but has not been fully tested. It has not been fully tested on Linux.
+
+        On Windows, set FLASHPLAYER_DEBUGGER to the absolute path including the
+        filename of the FlashPlayerDebugger.exe. Note the filename of flash
+        player debugger maybe different.
+           e.g. C:\MyPath\FlashPlayerDebugger.exe
+
+        On the Mac, set FLASHPLAYER_DEBUGGER to the absolute path of
+        Flash Player Debugger.app/Contents/MacOS/Flash Player Debugger
+
+        On Linux, set FLASHPLAYER_DEBUGGER to the absolute path of
+        flashplayerdebugger
+
+    *5) The Adobe Flash Player playerglobal.swc for 11.1 can be downloaded from:
+            http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/updaters/11/playerglobal11_1.swc
+
+        Use URL above to download playerglobal11_1.swc. Create the directory,
+        player/11.1 and copy playerglobal11_1.swc to
+        player/11.1/playerglobal.swc.
+
+        Set PLAYERGLOBAL_HOME to the absolute path of the player directory (not
+        including the version subdirectory). The target-player option controls
+        which PLAYERGLOBAL_HOME subdirectory is used.
+
+        Other more recent versions of Adobe Flash Player playerglobal.swc can be
+        downloaded from:
+            http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/updaters/11/playerglobal11_2.swc
+            http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/updaters/11/playerglobal11_3.swc
+            http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/updaters/11/playerglobal11_4.swc
+            http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/updaters/11/playerglobal11_5.swc
+            http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/updaters/11/playerglobal11_6.swc
+            http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/updaters/11/playerglobal11_7.swc
+            http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/updaters/11/playerglobal11_8.swc
+            http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/updaters/11/playerglobal11_9.swc
+            http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/updaters/12/playerglobal12_0.swc
+            http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/updaters/13/playerglobal13_0.swc
+
+        These can be used with Apache Flex but not all have not been fully
+        tested.
+
+    *6) The Apache Flex SDK is required to build some of the ActionScript code.
+
+        Set FLEX_HOME to the absolute path of Apache Flex SDK.
+
+FlashPlayer Configuration
+-------------------------
+
+    For testing, the Adobe Flash Player's mm.cfg file must have the following
+    entries
+
+        ErrorReportingEnable=1
+        TraceOutputFileEnable=1
+
+    and a FlashPlayerTrust file must allow local SWFs to access local files.
+
+
+Adobe Flash Player Version Support
+----------------------------------
+
+    Apache Flex BlazeDS defaults to using the Adobe Flash Player 11.1. The SDK
+    can be used with Flash Player versions 10.2, 10.3, 11.0, 11.1, 11.2, 11.3,
+    11.4, 11.5, 11.6, 11.7, 11.8, 11.9, 12.0 and 13.0.
+
+    It is recommended that you update to the latest version of Adobe Flash
+    Player.  Newer versions of the Adobe Flash player address security
+    vulnerabilities, fix bugs/issues, increase stability, and implement new
+    features.
+
+    To use the SDK for another version of the Adobe Flash Player either:
+
+    Change the flex-config.xml configuration file to specify another version of
+    the Adobe Flash Player.
+
+    OR
+
+    Change the playerglobal.version in the build.properties file to have a value
+    other than "11.1". For this change to take effect the SDK needs to be
+    recompiled.  For example to compile against the latest version of the Adobe
+    Flash Player set the value of playerglobal.version to be "12.0" like so:
+
+        playerglobal.version = 13.0
+
+    OR
+
+    Compile the SDK with a -Dplayerglobal.version=<version> option, where
+    <version> is the Adobe Flash Player version to compile the SDK against.
+
+
+    Different versions of the Adobe Flash Player require different versions of
+    playerglobal.swc.

+
+    Apache Flex has been tested with Adobe Flash Player 11.1, 11.5, 11.7, 11.8,
+    11.9, 12.0 nd 13.0 on Windows and Mac.
+
+    Apache Flex has not been tested on Linux so some issue may exist in this
+    release.
+
+    It compiles against other Adobe Flash Player versions and is expected to
+    work but their may be some issues, particularly with the earlier 10.2 and
+    10.3 versions of the Adobe Flash Player.

+Using the Binary Distribution
+-----------------------------
+
+    TBD
+
+Building the Framework in a Binary Distribution
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+    The source for most of the framework is included in the binary distribution.
+    It can be useful if you wish to debug and/or extend components.
+
+    When you have all the prerequisites in place and the environment variables
+    set, (see Install Prerequisites above), use
+
+        cd <blazeds.dir>
+        ant main        (or just ant since the default target is main)
+
+    to download the third-party dependencies and build BlazeDS.  You 
+    may be prompted to acknowledge some of the downloads.  Since the third-party
+    dependencies take a little while to download and they don't change very
+    often, they are not cleaned with the regular clean target.
+
+    To clean the build, of everything other than the downloaded third-party
+    dependencies use
+
+        ant clean
+
+    To clean the build, of everything, including the downloaded third-party
+    dependencies use
+
+        ant super-clean (which is just thirdparty-clean followed by clean)
+
+Building the Source in the Source Distribution
+----------------------------------------------
+
+    When you have all the prerequisites in place and the environment variables
+    set (see Install Prerequisites above), use
+
+        cd <blazeds.dir>
+        ant main        (or just ant since the default target is main)
+
+    to download the thirdparty dependencies and build the source.  You may be
+    prompted to acknowledge and/or confirm some of the downloads.  Since the
+    third-party dependencies take a little while to download and they don't
+    change very often, they are not cleaned with the regular clean target.
+
+    To clean the build, of everything other than the downloaded third-party
+    dependencies use
+
+        ant clean
+
+    To clean the build, of everything, including the downloaded third-party
+    dependencies use
+
+        ant super-clean (which is just thirdparty-clean followed by clean)
+
+    To generate a source distribution package and a binary distribution package
+    use
+
+        ant -Dbuild.number=<YYYYMMDD> -Dbuild.noprompt= release
+
+    The packages can be found in the "out" subdirectory.
+
+    To build the ASDoc package
+
+        ant asdoc-package
+
+    To get a brief listing of all the targets type
+
+        ant -projecthelp
+
+
+Thanks for using Apache Flex BlazeDS.  Enjoy!
