 Building from source
 --------------------
 
-1. Install the latest JDK (8u20 or better)
-2. Clone this repository
-3. **Build and launch the Bitsquare JavaFX client** by running:
-```
-./gradlew run
-```
-
-Pass command line arguments to the app via the Gradle `-Pargs` property as follows:
-
-    ./gradlew run -Pargs="--help"
-
-Or, **build an executable jar** with the `appJar` task:
-
-    ./gradlew appJar
-
-Run the app as follows:
-
-    java -jar build/libs/bitsquare-<version>-app.jar
-
-Pass the `--help` flag to see what options are available:
-
-    java -jar build/libs/bitsquare-<version>-app.jar --help
-
-To **build a headless bootstrap node jar**, run the `bootstrapNodeJar` task:
-
-    ./gradlew bootstrapNodeJar
-
-Run the bootstrap node:
-
-    java -jar build/libs/bitsquare-<version>-bootstrapNode.jar
-

+What follows is explained in detail in the sections below, but for those who know their way around Java, git and Maven, here are the instructions in a nutshell:
 
     $ javac -version
     javac 1.8.0_20       # must be 1.8.0_20 or better
 
     $ git clone https://github.com/bitsquare/bitsquare.git

-       --- or ---
-    $ gradlew appJar      # (on Windows)
+    $ mvn package    
 
-When the build completes, you will find an excutable jar in the `build/libs` directory. Run it as follows for the help screen:
-
-    $ java -jar build/libs/bitsquare-<version>-app.jar --help
+When the build completes, you will find an excutable jar: `gui/target/shaded.jar`. 
+To run it use:
+    $ java -jar gui/target/shaded.jar
 
+To build the binary needs a bit more preparation as we use [UpdateFX](https://github.com/vinumeris/updatefx) for automatic updates.
+You can find more information in the build scripts for your OS (e.g. build_setup.sh, build_create_app_mac.sh, build_update.sh)

-Bitsquare uses [Gradle](http://www.gradle.org/), and the [Gradle wrapper](http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html) as a build system. This means you don't need to download or do anything other than run the following command within the `bitsquare` directory.
