+# Apache ActiveMQ Artemis Console
+
+
+The [Apache ActiveMQ Artemis](https://activemq.apache.org/components/artemis/) 
Console Plugin is written using [Hawtio v4](https://github.com/hawtio/hawtio).
+The plugin is written in TypeScript. Since a Hawtio plugin is based on React 
and [Webpack Module Federation](https://module-federation.github.io/),
+this project uses Yarn v3 and [CRACO](https://craco.js.org/) as the build 
tools.
+
+The WAR file created by this project is consumed by ActiveMQ Artemis but can 
be developed and run standalone.
+
+
+### Build
+
+The following command first builds the `artemis-console-extension` frontend 
project and then compiles and packages 
+the main Java project Web Archive in `artemis-console-war`.
+
+```console
+mvn clean install
+```
+
+Building the frontend project 'artemis-console-extension' can take time, so if 
you build it once and make no changes on the project afterwards, you 
+can speed up the whole build by skipping the frontend part next time.
+
+```console
+mvn install -Dskip.yarn
+```
+
+### Test run
+
+You can quickly run and test the console by using `jetty-maven-plugin` 
configured in `pom.xml`. It launches an embedded 
+Jetty server and deploys the plugin WAR application. From the 
'artemis-console-war' directory run:
+
+```console
+cd artemis-console-war
+mvn jetty:run -Dskip.yarn
+```
+
+You can access the Artemis console with the sample plugin at: 
<http://localhost:8080/console/>
