 # Building from source
 
-Instructions on [building Spring Web Flow](https://github.com/SpringSource/spring-webflow/wiki/Building-From-Source) from source are available via the project wiki.
+Check out sources:
+````
+git clone git://github.com/SpringSource/spring-webflow.git
+````
+
+Compile and test, build all jars, distribution zips and docs:
+````
+./gradlew build
+````
+
+Install into your local Maven repository:
+````
+./gradlew install
+````
+
+Generate Eclipse settings and then manually import projects:
+````
+./import-into-eclipse.sh
+````
+
+The Spring Framework and Spring Web Flow use a very similar build system. For this reason the following [Gradle build FAQ](https://github.com/SpringSource/spring-framework/wiki/Gradle-build-and-release-FAQ) would be a very useful read.
