 Optimizely Java QuickStart
 ===================
 
-This repository houses the Java Quickstart app that can be used to test that your java SDK can communicate with the cdn and Optimizely results.  Simply create a new project with an experiment called "background_experiment" with 2 variations and a conversion event named "sample_conversion".  From there you can test different attributes setups and other Optimizely Java SDK APIs.  This is just a simple example that gets you up and running.  Normally, the Java SDK would be running with a application server such as Dropwizard.

 ## Getting Started
-Simply create a experiment on app.optimizely.com named "background_experiment" with variation_a and variation_b and one conversion event "simple_conversion."  Use that SDK key in the Example.java and you are set to test.
+Create an experiment on app.optimizely.com named "background_experiment" with variations "variation_a" and "variation_b" and one conversion event "sample_conversion.".
+Use that SDK key in the [`com.optimizely.Example.java`](https://github.com/optimizely/java-sdk/blob/master/java-quickstart/src/main/java/com/optimizely/Example.java) 
+and you are set to test.
 
-### Installing the SDK
-In the instance here we are using jar files copied into the libs directory for linking with the Optimizely Java SDK.
+### Run Example
 
-#### Gradle
-
-You can do a ```./gradlew``` build and run via run.sh.
+Running `./gradlew runExample` will build and execute [`com.optimizely.Example.java`](https://github.com/optimizely/java-sdk/blob/master/java-quickstart/src/main/java/com/optimizely/Example.java).
