+Binding Echo Sample
+===================
+This sample demonstrates how new bindings are constructed for Apache Tuscany 
+SCA. 
+
+The README in the samples directory (the directory above this) provides 
+general instructions about building and running samples. Take a look there 
+first. 
+
+If you want to try out the echo binding that this sample provides
+please see the binding-echo sample that provides the necessary client and
+application code to bring up an application that uses this binding
+
+Sample Overview
+---------------
+This sample contains a implementation of an SCA binding that simply echoes back 
+any messages that are sent to it.

+        echo/                    - The binding interfaces

+          provider/              - The bindings runtime classes

+      resources/

+      resources/
+        EchoBinding.composite    - the SCA assembly used by the unit test
+  build.xml                      - the Ant build file
+  pom.xml                        - the Maven build file
+  
+Building The Sample Using Ant
+-----------------------------
+With the binary distribution the sample can be built using Ant as 
+follows
+
+cd binding-echo-extension
+ant compile
+
+See the binding-echo sample to run a sample that uses this binding. 
+
+Building And Running The Sample Using Maven 
+-------------------------------------------
+With either the binary or source distributions the sample can be built and run 
+using Maven as follows. 
+
+cd binding-echo-extension
+mvn
+
+Maven will also test that the sample extension built properly. You should see 
+the following output from the test phase.
