 * Download *Lightstreamer Server* (Lightstreamer Server comes with a free non-expiring demo license for 20 connected users) from [Lightstreamer Download page](http://www.lightstreamer.com/download.htm), and install it, as explained in the `GETTING_STARTED.TXT` file in the installation home directory.
 * Make sure that Lightstreamer Server is not running.
-* Get the `deploy.zip` file of the [latest release](https://github.com/Lightstreamer/Lightstreamer-example-RoundTrip-adapter-java/releases), unzip it, and copy the `RoundTrip` folder into the `adapters` folder of your Lightstreamer Server installation.

+* [Optional] Customize the logging settings in log4j configuration file: `RoundTripDemo/classes/log4j2.xml`.
 * Launch Lightstreamer Server.
 * Test the Adapter, launching the [Lightstreamer - Round-Trip Demo - HTML Client](https://github.com/Lightstreamer/Lightstreamer-example-RoundTrip-client-javascript) listed in [Clients Using This Adapter](https://github.com/Lightstreamer/Lightstreamer-example-RoundTrip-adapter-java#clients-using-this-adapter).
 
 ## Build
 
-To build your own version of `LS_roundtrip_data_adapter.jar` and ` LS_roundtrip_metadata_adapter.jar`, instead of using the one provided in the `deploy.zip` file from the [Install](https://github.com/Lightstreamer/Lightstreamer-example-RoundTrip-adapter-java#install) section above, follow these steps:
-
-* Download this project.
-* Get the `ls-adapter-interface.jar` file from the [latest Lightstreamer distribution](http://www.lightstreamer.com/download), and copy it into the `lib` folder.
-* Get the `log4j-1.2.17.jar` file from [Apache log4j](https://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/) and copy it into the `lib` folder.
-* Create the jars `LS_roundtrip_metadata_adapter.jar` and `LS_roundtrip_data_adapter.jar` with commands like these:
-```sh
- > mkdir tmp_classes/data tmp_classes/metadata
- > javac -source 1.7 -target 1.7 -nowarn -g -classpath lib/log4j-1.2.17.jar;lib/ls-adapter-interface.jar -sourcepath src/src_data -d tmp_classes/data src/src_roundtrip/roundtrip_demo/adapters/RoundTripDataAdapter.java

+To build your own version of `example-RoundTrip-adapter-java-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar` instead of using the one provided in the `deploy.zip` file from the [Install](https://github.com/Lightstreamer/Lightstreamer-example-RoundTrip-adapter-java#install) section above, you have two options:
+either use [Maven](https://maven.apache.org/) (or other build tools) to take care of dependencies and building (recommended) or gather the necessary jars yourself and build it manually.
+For the sake of simplicity only the Maven case is detailed here.
+
+### Maven
+
+You can easily build and run this application using Maven through the pom.xml file located in the root folder of this project. As an alternative, you can use an alternative build tool (e.g. Gradle, Ivy, etc.) by converting the provided pom.xml file.
+
+Assuming Maven is installed and available in your path you can build the demo by running
+```sh 
+ mvn install dependency:copy-dependencies 
 ```
