-# Kotlin hello-world example with maven
-
-## Prerequisites to running the example
-
- * download Maven directly from the [Apache Maven homepage](http://maven.apache.org/download.html)
- * install and configure your system as described in [the installation section](http://maven.apache.org/download.html#Installation)
-
-## Compiling/Testing/Running the example
-
-If you have maven on your path, simple type:
-
- mvn test
-
-It will compile:
- * src/main/kotlin/Hello.kt into target/classes/hello/namespace.class
- * src/main/kotlin/Hello.kt into target/test-classes/hello/tests/HelloTest.class
-
-Then run tests, and finnaly run your man hello 'namespace'.
-
-## Only running the example
-
-Once you compiled the sources with previous 'mvn test' command, you can run the application by typing:
-
- mvn exec:java
-
-## Using commandline arguments
-
-If you want to modify the main method in Hello.kt in order to use commandline arguments, you can specify them on commandline as:
-
- mvn exec:java -Dexec.args="argument1"
