+======================
+Introduction
+======================
+You have generated an MD-SAL module using the Brocade Archetype.
+
+* You should be able to successfully run 'mvn clean install' on this project.
+* This will produce a .zip file under the karaf.extension directory which you can deploy using
+Brocade's extension deployment mechanism.
+
+======================
+Next Steps:
+======================
+* run a 'mvn clean install' if you haven't already. This will generate some code from the yang models.
+* Modify the model yang file under the model project.
+* Follow the comments in the generated provider class to wire your new provider into the generated
+code.
+* Modify the generated provider model to respond to and handle the yang model. Depending on what
+you added to your model you may need to inherit additional interfaces or make other changes to
+the provider model.
+
+======================
+Generated Bundles:
+======================
+* model
+ - Provides the yang model for your application. This is your primary northbound interface.
+* provider
+ - Provides a template implementation for a provider to respond to your yang model.
+* features
+ - Defines a karaf feature. If you add dependencies on third-party bundles then you will need to
+ modify the features.xml to list out the dependencies.
+* karaf.extension
+ - Bundles all of the jars and third party dependencies (minus ODL dependencies) into a single
+ .zip file with the necessary configuration files to work correctly with the Brocade extension
+ mechanism.
