+QMan - Qpid JMX & WS-DM Management Bridge 
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+Documentation
+--------------
+All of our user documentation for QMan module can be accessed on our wiki at:
+
+http://cwiki.apache.org/qpid/qman-qpid-management-bridge.html
+
+This includes a Getting Started and User Guide as well as detailed developer documentation.
+However, here's a VERY quick guide to running QMan, once you have installed it somewhere !
+
+Running
+------------------
+
+Once you installed QMan, under the root folder you should have the following structure
+
+- bin (folder) : contains startup & shutdown scripts;
+- app (folder) : contains the web application module;
+- etc (folder) : contains configuration files;
+- examples (folder) : contains examples (and a nested README as well)
+- lib (folder) : contains dependency libraries;
+- log (folder) : this is the default log folder.
+
+To run QMan, 
+
+1) edit the $QMAN_HOME/etc/qman-config.xml file and configure broker connection data (host,port, username, etc...)
+2) under the $QMAN_HOME/bin directory run :
+
+> ./qman-wsdm-start.sh
+
+now, under $QMAN_HOME/log directory you should see two files :
+
+1) server.log : contains web server log messages;
+2) qman.log : contains qman log messages; 
+
+Administration
+-----------------------
+
+After QMan has been started successfully you can browse its administration console pointing your browser to :
+
+http://<host>:<port>/qman/console
