<h1>Getting and Building Sling</h1>
<p>A quick guide for getting the Sling source, then building and running the resulting Sling instance; either without or with Eclipse.</p>
-<p>Sling can easily be built:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>from the command line (using SVN and the Maven command line tool)</li>
-<li>or using Eclipse</li>
-</ul>
-<p>Note that you don't <em>have</em> to build Sling yourself, if you don't need the bleeding-edge stuff you can get prebuilt binaries from the <a href="/downloads.cgi">Downloads</a> page.</p>
-<p>A full build of Sling takes 5-10 minutes on a recent computer once your local Maven repository is up to date. The first build may take much longer than that if you start with an empty local Maven repository, as Maven will then download its plugins and all the required dependencies.</p>
+<p>Note that you don't <em>have</em> to build Sling yourself, if you don't need the bleeding-edge stuff you can get prebuilt
+binaries from the <a href="/downloads.cgi">Downloads</a> page. But those, especially the launchpad runnable jar, are not released often
+and can be outdated. In case of doubt, built it yourself as shown below or ask on the Sling users mailing list.</p>
