+      <p>
+        This plugin contains goals to help in quickly building and deploying a webapp into a running JBoss server
+        if you do not have IDE support for it.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        To build your webapp into the correct directory structure, set the following property for your project:
+      </p>
+      <source>maven.war.webapp.dir=${maven.build.dir}/exploded/${pom.artifactId}.war/</source>
+      <p>
+        To deploy your webapp after making changes to your java source code, run:
+      </p>
+      <source>maven jboss:deploy-exploded-warfile</source>
+      <p>
+        If only webapp content has changed (ie the webapp does not need to be reloaded), you can run:
+      </p>
+      <source>maven war:webapp</source>
+      <p>
+        To undeploy the webapp:
+      </p>
+      <source>maven jboss:undeploy-exploded-warfile</source>
+      <p>
+        The JBoss plugin takes advantage of the jmx-console webapp provided in the default configuration of JBoss. 
+        It assumes you have JBoss running on localhost with its embedded web server (either Tomcat or Jetty) 
+        listening on port 8080. To override these, please refer to the
+        <a href="properties.html">JBoss Plugin Properties</a> reference.
