+Readme for RSE DataStore Example
+------------------------------
+
+The DataStore Example shows how to use the DataStore communication layer
+to interact with an agent on a server machine.  This example includes an
+RSE service layer, subsystem layer and some UI pieces in order to demonstrate
+different types of remote tasks.  The example is only meant as an educational
+ guide to developers that use or extend the DataStore services.
+ 
+__Requirements:__
+The DataStore example has been tested with with RSE 3.1 
+
+__Installation:__
+You need an Eclipse PDE Workspace with RSE.
+Then, choose File > Import > Existing Projects > Archive File,
+to import the example archive.
+
+__Server Installation:___
+The DStore Server Runtime needs to be installed on the remote machines
+that you wish to connect to.
+To enable to server portion of the example: 
+1) The "miners" source folder needs to be exported to a jar file (i.e. myminer.jar)
+2) The exported jar needs to be put in the DStore Server Runtime installation 
+directory on the server.  
+3) The server and daemon scripts need to be updated to include this jar in their 
+respective classpaths.
+
+__Usage:__
+The dstore service must be enabled on the remote system (see below).  The subsystem
+configuration for the sample subsystem in this plugin is enabled for Linux and
+Unix connections but could be enabled for any other system that supports DStore.
