-** ABOUT Apache Vysper and XMPP **
-
-This project aims at delivering a server implementation of both the core and
IM parts of the XMPP protocol
-(as specified in RFCs 3920 [1] + 3921 [2]).
-
-"Vysper" is pronounced like in "whisper".
-
-XMPP[3] is an open, secure and extensible instant messaging protocol which has
evolved from Jabber.
-It provides interoperability features for communication with other XMPP and
non-XMPP servers.
-It is used and supported by many IM applications, both client and server.
-
-The protocol and its many extensions (called XEPs) are maintained by the XMPP
Standards Foundation (XSF) [4].
-
-In addition to the basic protocol and many small extensions, Vysper currently
comes with working implementations for
- Multi-User Chat (XEP-0045) [5]
-and
- Publish-Subscribe (XEP-0060) [6]

-** SOURCE CODE **
-
-The most recent source code can be retrieved using SVN
-
- svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/mina/vysper/trunk
-
-** BUILDING **
-
-You need Apache Maven 2, Maven 2.2.1 or later is recommended. Run
- mvn install
-and you should find a number of JAR files in different target/ folders.
-The different build artifacts are compiled in dist/.
-
-** RUNNING **
-
-There are different ways to run Vysper
-
-A ready-to-run setup is created by the build in
- dist/target/appassembler/
-Under
- dist/target/appassembler/bin
-you'll find start scripts for Unix/Mac and Windows.
-
-This makes use of the Spring-based server runtime.
-Main class is
- org.apache.vysper.spring.ServerMain
-and the bean configuration is located in
- server/core/src/main/config/spring-config.xml
-
-There is a non-Spring runtime, too:
- org.apache.vysper.spring.ServerMain
-The source code shows how the different components are plugged together.
-
-It can serve as a template for integrating Vysper in any other application.
-The class
- org.apache.vysper.xmpp.server.XMPPServer
-is built to make the server easily configurable and embeddable.
-
-** CONFIGURATION **
-
-Vysper uses SSL encryption per default.
-For this purpose, an TLS certificate is provided.
-It is highly recommended to create and use a self-generated certificate!
-
-There is one preconfigured user (ad...@vysper.org). The password for this
-user is "CHOOSE A SECURE PASSWORD". Please change this password before
starting!
-
-Please note that the domain vysper.org is not running an XMPP server.
-If you go with the default setup and don't configure your own domain name,
-please note that you have to configure your Jabber clients to force the host
name
-(for example the IP or localhost, depending on how you run it).
-
-** CONTRIBUTING **
-
-You can contribute by creating a new JIRA issue entry (or working on an
existing).
-JIRA can be found at https://issues.apache.org/jira
-You need an account there.
-The project name is "VYSPER".
-
-For an overview of all VYSPER related issues, visit
-http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VYSPER
-
-Any contribution is highly welcome. It can easily reviewed if it comes in form
of a patch attached to a JIRA entry.
-
-Currently, all coding is done unit test driven. Well, at least it should be ;-)
-
-Please find us on MINA'S developer mailing list d...@mina.apache.org.
