+
+You must:
++ Use Java 1.5 or newer due to the usage of Generics
++ Either ensure the "thrift" executable is in your PATH or set the
+  <thriftExecutable> parameter to the correct location.
++ Define the executions you want (you probably don't need the testCompile
+  unless you have custom thrift objects in your tests.
++ Include the dependencies on libthrift and slf4j or your compile will fail.
+
+
+Once this is all done add your *.thrift files to the directory: src/main/thrift
+
+Everything should then build with a: mvn clean install
+
+
+
+
+You may also need to add the following to your settings.xml to download the
+plugin:

+                <pluginRepository>
+                    <id>dtrott</id>
