-We provide a [ZIP file for each release](https://github.com/Vonage/vonage-java-sdk/releases/),
-containing the Java Server SDK JAR, along with all the dependencies. Download the file, unzip it, and add the JAR files
-to your project's classpath.
+The `uberjar` profile will create a JAR file with all dependencies required to run the SDK included,
+which can be found in the `target` directory. The `install` goal will make the SDK and its dependencies
+available in your local Maven repository (usually located under your `~/.m2` directory), which can then
+be used from other projects locally on your machine. To use this in a Gradle project, you need to include
+the dependency co-ordinates and add `mavenLocal()` to the `repositories` block in your `build.gradle` file.
