+# Maven artifacts
+
+Java projects can include the latest S3Proxy release via Maven artifacts:
+
+```xml
+<dependency>
+    <groupId>org.gaul</groupId>
+    <artifactId>s3proxy</artifactId>
+    <version>1.4.0</version>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+Sonatype also provides pre-release snapshots:
+
+```xml
+<repositories>
+    <repository>
+        <id>apache-snapshots</id>
+        <url>https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
+        <snapshots>
+            <enabled>true</enabled>
+        </snapshots>
+    </repository>
+    <repository>
+        <id>sonatype-snapshots</id>
+        <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
+        <snapshots>
+            <enabled>true</enabled>
+        </snapshots>
+    </repository>
+</repositories>
+```
+
+# Usage
+
+Instantiate S3Proxy by creating a backend `BlobStore` object and a frontend `S3Proxy` object.  An example configuring the filesystem backend and listening on port 8080:
+
+```java
+Properties properties = new Properties();
+properties.setProperty("jclouds.filesystem.basedir", "/tmp/blobstore");
+
+BlobStoreContext context = ContextBuilder
+        .newBuilder("filesystem")
+        .credentials("identity", "credential")
+        .overrides(properties)
+        .build(BlobStoreContext.class);
+
+S3Proxy s3Proxy = S3Proxy.builder()
+        .blobStore(context.getBlobStore())
+        .endpoint(URI.create("http://127.0.0.1:8080"))
+        .build();
+
+s3Proxy.start();
+while (!info.s3Proxy.getState().equals(AbstractLifeCycle.STARTED)) {
+    Thread.sleep(1);
+}
+```
+
+The S3Proxy Main class and unit tests demonstrate more complicated configurations:
