-# Sample Code for the Authorize.Net Java SDK
-The goal of this code sample repository is to provide completely self-contained autonomous examples of using our Java SDK to access the Authorize.Net API.  We have tested all the samples and while we expect that many people will copy/paste them into their own development projects they are also idependently runnable from the command line.
+# Sample Java Code for Authorize.Net
+This repository contains working code samples which demonstrate Java integration with the Authorize.Net Java SDK
+The samples are organized just like our API, which you can also try out directly here: http://developer.authorize.net/api/reference
 
-## Set Up Steps
-* Clone this repository.
-* Run "mvn package" in the root directory.
-* Run the individual samples e.g. 
 
-java -jar target/VisaCheckoutDecrypt-jar-with-dependencies.jar
+##Using the Sample Code
 
+The samples are all completely independent and self-contained so you can look at them to get a gist of how the method works, you can use the snippets to try in your own sample project, or you can run each sample from the command line.
 
-## API Reference
-The code samples are organized just like our API reference which you can access here http://developer.authorize.net/api/reference
+##Running the Samples
+ Clone this repository.  
+ Run "mvn install" in the root directory to create the SampleCode console app.  
+ Then run a sample directly by name:  
+````
+     > SampleCode [CodeSampleName]
+````
+e.g.
+````
+     > SampleCode ChargeACreditCard
+````
+Running SampleCode without a parameter will give you the list of sample names.  Handy or what!
 
 *PLEASE NOTE THIS PROJECT IS CURRENTLY UNDER DEVELOPMENT*
