+# 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"
