 This project is **a collection of small and focused tutorials** - each covering a single and well defined area of development in the Java ecosystem. 
 A strong focus of these is, of course, the Spring Framework - Spring, Spring Boot and Spring Security. 
-In additional to Spring, the following technologies are in focus: `core Java`, `Jackson`, `HttpClient`, `Guava`. 
+In additional to Spring, the modules here are covering a number of aspects in Java.

 ====================
 To run a Spring Boot module run the command: `mvn spring-boot:run` in the module directory
 
-#Running Tests
 
+Working with the IDE
+====================
+This repo contains a large number of modules. 
+When you're working with an individual module, there's no need to import all of them (or build all of them) - you can simply import that particular module in either Eclipse or IntelliJ. 
+
+
+Running Tests
+=============
 The command `mvn clean install` will run the unit tests in a module.
 To run the integration tests, use the command `mvn clean install -Pintegration-lite-first`
