+This Ant script will extract the source for projects used by IBM.
+To run this bring the synchronize the workspace with the version you wish to extract
+and run "Ant Build" on this script.
+
+You may wish to modify the zip-file property below prior to running to name the resulting
+zip file appropriately. Be sure to keep it in the results directory.
+
+Results are generated into the workspace, but team support is told to ignore them during 
+synchronization so they will not end up in the repository.

+The purpose of the org.eclipse.rse.tools.meta project is to be a collection point for scripts that
+extract information from the workspace.
+
+Each tool/script should be in its own folder. Results generated from that tool should be stored in the 
+results subfolder of that folder. 
+
+The working and results subfolders of a tool folder will not be synchronized.
