+XZ in Java
+==========
+
+Introduction
+
+ In the (very) long term, this aims to be a complete implementation
+ of XZ data compression in Java. Currently only streamed decompression
+ is supported. For the latest source code, see the project home page:
+
+ http://tukaani.org/xz/java.html
+
+ The source code is currently compatible with Java 1.4.
+
+Building
+
+ The package is easy to build without any makefiles by simply
+ passing all the .java files to a Java compiler. For convenience,
+ a quick & dirty GNUmakefile is included which builds the .class
+ and .jar files and documentation.
+
+ You can test decompression with XZDecDemo, which decompresses to
+ standard output:
+
+ java -jar jar/XZDecDemo.jar foo.txt.xz
+
+Reporting bugs
+
+ Report bugs to <lasse.collin@tukaani.org> or visit the IRC channel
+ #tukaani on Freenode and talk to Larhzu.
