 ### Build and run
-[Apache Ant](https://ant.apache.org/) is used for building Pattypan. You need to have JDK 11 or later installed as well as [a download of OpenJFX](https://gluonhq.com/products/javafx/) for each platform you want to support. In order to download and build source code, do the following:
+[Apache Maven](https://maven.apache.org/) is used for building Pattypan. You need to have JDK 11 or later installed as well as Maven.
 
-```
+In order to download the source code, build, and run the application, do the following:
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
 git clone https://github.com/yarl/pattypan.git
 cd pattypan
-ant
-```
-
-This will run the default `build` target. It assumes that the current directory contains the OpenJFX SDK ZIP(s) and will unpack the required files to the correct locations. The resulting JAR will support Linux, Windows or both. The ZIPs present dictates what platforms will be supported. Note that the ZIPs should have their default name to be included.
 
-A temporary directory will be used during the build process and removed afterwards. It's default path is *tmp/* and can be set using `ant -Dtmp=...`
+# Build the project (compiles code and creates JAR in target/)
+mvn clean package
 
-You can also set test server or any other server:
+# Run the application directly using Maven (recommended for development)
+mvn javafx:run
 
+# Alternatively, run the created JAR file (requires Java 11+)
+# Note: Ensure your JAVA_HOME points to a JDK with JavaFX modules included, or handle JavaFX modules separately.
+# java -jar target/pattypan-1.0.0.jar
 ```
-java -jar pattypan.jar wiki="test.wikipedia.org"
-java -jar pattypan.jar wiki="test2.wikipedia.org" protocol="https://" scriptPath="/w"
 
+Maven automatically downloads all required dependencies, including OpenJFX. No manual downloads are needed.
+
+You can also run the application with specific Wikimedia sites:
+
+```bash
+# Using mvn javafx:run (pass arguments after --)
+mvn javafx:run -- -wiki=test.wikipedia.org
+mvn javafx:run -- -wiki=test2.wikipedia.org -protocol=https:// -scriptPath=/w
+
+# Using the JAR file
+# java -jar target/pattypan-1.0.0.jar wiki="test.wikipedia.org"
+# java -jar target/pattypan-1.0.0.jar wiki="test2.wikipedia.org" protocol="https://" scriptPath="/w"
 ```
 
 Please note, that on test server file upload may be disabled for regular users. Admin account is suggested, you can request rights [here](https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests/Permissions). If you have problems with program running, check [article on project wiki](https://github.com/yarl/pattypan/wiki/Run).
