+To build the web application
+
+1. Download Maven 2.2.1 from here http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/maven/source/apache-maven-2.2.1-src.zip and follow
+   the instructions in its readme file to install.
+2. Edit the relevant database profile in profiles.xml. You can also specify where the application should look for the index folder,
+   see an example via the index_local profile.
+3. run this command:
+    mvn clean package -Pdeploy,<<your_db_profile_id>>,index_local -Dmaven.test.skip=true
+4. This command will build an ear (bii-<<version>>.ear) in the ear/target directory. You should copy this ear into your JBoss
+   directory in server/default/deploy
+5. To run JBoss (you may want to give it more memory), go to the bin directory in your JBoss installation and execute run.sh
+   or run.bat (depending on your system) with the options -c default, e.g. ./run.sh -c default.
