+        <li>Like most commons components, commons-math uses Apache Maven as our
+            build tool. We now use Maven 2 as our primary build platform (what
+            we use to cut releases, for continuous integration builds, and for
+            development).  The sources can also be built using Maven 1.0.2 or
+            Ant (a working Maven 1 project.xml and Ant build.xml are included
+            in the top level project directory). To build commons math using
+            Maven 2, you can follow the instructions for
+            <a href="http://maven.apache.org/run-maven/index.html">Building a
+            project with Maven 2</a>. Launch Maven from the top-level directory
+            in the checkout of commons-math trunk. No special setup is required,
+            except that currently to build the site (i.e. to execute Maven's
+            "site" goal), you may need to increase the default memory allocation
+            (e.g. <code>export MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx512m</code>) before launching
+            Maven.
