Running genesys2 with jetty

 # Genesys PGR - Gateway to genetic resources
 
-**genesys2-server** configuration options can be found in 
-`src/main/resources/spring/spring.properties` file.
 
-You will need to configure at least the database connection url and credentials before starting up Genesys server.
+## Running genesys2-server with jetty
 
-## A very quick start
+Download a **stable-9** copy of [jetty](http://download.eclipse.org/jetty/) and unpack it 
+to your favorite location. Obtain a copy of `genesys2-server-X.Y.Z-jetty.zip` archive by 
+building the project. The zip can be found in target/ directory.
 
+Unpack `genesys2-server-X.Y.Z-jetty.zip` archive and move its contents into the jetty directory,
+next to existing `demo-base` and `webapps` directories.
+
+Start jetty from the `genesys2-server-X.Y.Z-jetty` base
+
+	$ cd genesys2-server-X.Y.Z-jetty/
+	$ java -jar ../start.jar
+
+STDOUT is used for logging.
+
+This configuration uses HSQL database and is intended for testing genesys2-server.
+To change the database settings, edit `genesys2-server-X.Y.Z-jetty/resources/genesys.properties` file:
+
+	# mysql
+	db.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/genesys?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8&useFastDateParsing=false
+	db.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
+	db.username=root
+	db.password=mysql
+	hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect
+
+The complete list of available configuration options and their default values can be found
+in [spring.properties](https://bitbucket.org/genesys2/genesys2-server/src/master/src/main/resources/spring/spring.properties).
+
+
+## Running genesys2-server with maven
+
+* Clone genesys2-server to your computer
 * Create a blank mysql database
 * Configure genesys2-server database connection settings
 * Start Jetty with `mvn jetty:run`
 
-### Running Genesys on local mysql instance
+### Creating a mysql database
 
 Connect to your mysql instance and create a new blank database **genesys2**:
 
-```mysql
-# Create database
-CREATE DATABASE genesys2 DEFAULT CHARSET UTF8;
-# Create user genesys with password pwd
-GRANT ALL ON genesys2.* TO 'genesys'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'pwd';
-```
+	# Create database
+	CREATE DATABASE genesys2 DEFAULT CHARSET UTF8;
+
+	# Create user genesys with password pwd
+	GRANT ALL ON genesys2.* TO 'genesys'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'pwd';
 
 Change the settings in `src/main/resources/spring/spring.properties`:
 
-```properties
-# Database genesys2 on localhost
-db.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/genesys2?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8&useFastDateParsing=false
-# mysql driver
-db.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
-# InnoDB dialect
-db.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect
-# Username and password
-db.username=genesys
-db.password=pwd
-# Log SQL commands to console
-db.showSql=false
-# Allow hibernate to update database (development/testing mode only)
-db.hbm2ddl=update
-```
-
-
-### Start Genesys with Maven
-
-Jetty servlet container is used to run Genesys from Maven.
-
-```sh
-    $ mvn jetty:run
-```
+	# genesys2 with mysql database
+	db.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/genesys2?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8&useFastDateParsing=false
+	db.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
+	hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect
+	db.username=genesys
+	db.password=pwd
+	db.showSql=false
+	# Allow hibernate to update database (development/testing mode only)
+	db.hbm2ddl=update
