+The BDB JE jar must be downloaded into this directory in order to allow the optional bdbstore module to be built against it.
+
+*NOTE* The BDB JE library is licensed under the Sleepycat Licence [1], which is not compatible with the Apache Lience v2.0. As a result, the BDB JE library is not distributed with the project, and the optional bdbstore module is not compiled by default.
+
+The jar file may be downloaded by either:
+
+ Seperately running the following command from the qpid/java/bdbstore dir: ant download-bdb
+
+ OR
+
+ Adding -Ddownload-bdb=true to your regular build command
