 ** Maintaining versions
 ** ====================
-** see README.template
+** See README.template
 **
 ** Usage
 ** =====
-** To build it run
-**
-**    > ant  dist
-**
-** To install the generated plugin locally (in you default plugin directory) run
-**
-**    > ant  install
-**
-** The generated plugin jar is not automatically available in JOSMs plugin configuration
-** dialog. You have to check it in first.
-**
-** Use the ant target 'publish' to check in the plugin and make it available to other
-** JOSM users:
-**    set the properties commit.message and plugin.main.version
-** and run
-**    > ant  publish
-**
+** Call "ant help" to get possible build targets.

 ** Maintaining versions
 ** ====================
-** see README.template
+** See README.template
 **
 ** Usage
 ** =====
-** To build it run
-**
-**    > ant  dist
-**
-** To install the generated plugin locally (in you default plugin directory) run
-**
-**    > ant  install
-**
-** The generated plugin jar is not automatically available in JOSMs plugin configuration
-** dialog. You have to check it in first.
-**
-** Use the ant target 'publish' to check in the plugin and make it available to other
-** JOSM users:
-**    set the properties commit.message and plugin.main.version
-** and run
-**    > ant  publish
-**
+** Call "ant help" to get possible build targets.
