-To build the whole application use:
-```Bash
-mvn -DskipTests=true --also-make --projects application install
-```
+# Overview
+The `ch.psi.fda.ui` project holds the GUI part of the FDA application. It consists of 3 Maven projects, a parent project, a project holding the 
+application configuration itself (`fda.ui.application`) and a project holding the code (`fda.ui.module`).
+
+Startup parameters and configurations are specificed in `fda.ui.application/src/main/resources/fda.conf`.
+Shell startup scripts are located in the `fda.ui.application/src/main/scripts`.
+
+
+
+# Development
+The application is build via maven (use `-DskipTests=true` option to skip tests) . Use the toplevel `pom.xml` file to build the whole application. After the compilation
+and packaging the resulting application zip file will be located in `fda.ui.application/target`.
+
+## Changing Version
+
+In the ch.psi.fda Eclipse project
+  * Change version in pom.xml (remove -SNAPSHOT)
+  * Compile and deploy the new ch.psi.fda jar file (Eclipse) via maven
+  * Run goal: `clean deploy`
+  * Change version in pom.xml (add -SNAPSHOT)
+
+In fda.ui.ee (Netbeans) project
+  * Change used ch.psi.fda version in `fda.ui.module` project pom (section dependencies) to the version you compiled and deployed before
+  * Change project version in pom.xml of all projects:
+    * pom.xml
+    * fda.ui.application
+    * fda.ui.module
+  * Change version in branding file:
+    * `./branding/src/main/nbm-branding/modules/org-netbeans-core-windows.jar/org/netbeans/core/windows/view/ui/Bundle.properties`
+    * Restart Netbeans (Workaround: due to compiling errors that cannot be otherwise easily resolved)
+  * Right click on fda.ui.parent project and select `Clean and Build`
+  * Start and test GUI from within Netbeans
+
+## Release
+  * Locate `fda.ui.application-<version>.zip` in `fda.ui.application/target`
+  * Rename file to `fda-<version>.zip`
+  * Upload file into the releases repository of artifactory (http://yoke/artifactory)
