+# OpenCensus Jaeger Trace Exporter
+[![Build Status][travis-image]][travis-url]
+[![Windows Build Status][appveyor-image]][appveyor-url]
+[![Maven Central][maven-image]][maven-url]
+
+The *OpenCensus Jaeger Trace Exporter* is a trace exporter that exports
+data to Jaeger.
+
+[Jaeger](https://jaeger.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), inspired by [Dapper](https://research.google.com/pubs/pub36356.html) and [OpenZipkin](http://zipkin.io/), is a distributed tracing system released as open source by [Uber Technologies](http://uber.github.io/). It is used for monitoring and troubleshooting microservices-based distributed systems, including:
+
+- Distributed context propagation
+- Distributed transaction monitoring
+- Root cause analysis
+- Service dependency analysis
+- Performance / latency optimization
+
+## Quickstart
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+[Jaeger](https://jaeger.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) stores and queries traces exported by
+applications instrumented with Census. The easiest way to [start a Jaeger
+server](https://jaeger.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/) is to paste the below:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+ -e COLLECTOR_ZIPKIN_HTTP_PORT=9411 \
+ -p5775:5775/udp -p6831:6831/udp -p6832:6832/udp \
+ -p5778:5778 -p16686:16686 -p14268:14268 -p9411:9411 \
+ jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest
+```
+
+### Hello Jaeger
+
+#### Add the dependencies to your project
+
+For Maven add to your `pom.xml`:
+```xml
+<dependencies>
+ <dependency>
+ <groupId>io.opencensus</groupId>
+ <artifactId>opencensus-api</artifactId>
+ <version>0.16.1</version>
+ </dependency>
+ <dependency>
+ <groupId>io.opencensus</groupId>
+ <artifactId>opencensus-exporter-trace-jaeger</artifactId>
+ <version>0.16.1</version>
+ </dependency>
+ <dependency>
+ <groupId>io.opencensus</groupId>
+ <artifactId>opencensus-impl</artifactId>
+ <version>0.16.1</version>
+ <scope>runtime</scope>
+ </dependency>
+</dependencies>
+```
+
+For Gradle add to your dependencies:
+```groovy
+compile 'io.opencensus:opencensus-api:0.16.1'
+compile 'io.opencensus:opencensus-exporter-trace-jaeger:0.16.1'
+runtime 'io.opencensus:opencensus-impl:0.16.1'
+```
+
+#### Register the exporter
+
+This will export traces to the Jaeger thrift format to the Jaeger instance started previously:
+
+```java
+public class MyMainClass {
+ public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
+ JaegerTraceExporter.createAndRegister("http://127.0.0.1:14268/api/traces", "my-service");
+ // ...
+ }
+}
+```
+
+See also [this integration test](https://github.com/census-instrumentation/opencensus-java/blob/master/exporters/trace/jaeger/src/test/java/io/opencensus/exporter/trace/jaeger/JaegerExporterHandlerIntegrationTest.java).
+
+#### Java Versions
+
+Java 6 or above is required for using this exporter.
