+# Artifactory Java Client Examples
+## Overview
+The Artifactory Java Client provides a set of java APIs which you use to work with JFrog Artifactory from your java code.
+It Allows managing Artifactory repositories, users, groups, permissions and system configuration. It also allows searches, 
+upload and download artifacts to or from Artifactory and a lot more.
+The client's documentation is available [here](https://github.com/JFrogDev/artifactory-client-java).<br />
+We created a few project examples, to help you get started using the client.

+# Gradle Artifactory Java Client Example
+
+## Introduction
+This example provides a project structure for using the Artifactory Java Client in a gradle project.
+In this project you will find how to set up Artifactory, create new repositories, and perform basic
+operations - upload, download and search artifacts using the Java Client.
+
+## Using this example
+* Download the project to your system and open it in your IDE.
+* Open `ClientExample.java` and insert the URL and credentials to your running Artifactory:
+```
+//TODO: Insert your Artifactory URL and credentials
+private static String userName = "<YOUR_USERNAME>";
+private static String password = "<YOUR_PASSWORD>";
+private static String artifactoryUrl = "<ARTIFACTORY_URL>";
+```
+* Build and Run the solution

+# Maven Artifactory Java Client Example
+
+## Introduction
+This example provides a project structure for using the Artifactory Java Client in a maven project.
+In this project you will find how to set up Artifactory, create new repositories, and perform basic
+operations - upload, download and search artifacts using the Java Client.
+
+## Using this example
+* Download the project to your system and open it in your IDE.
+* Open `ClientExample.java` and insert the URL and credentials to your running Artifactory:
+```
+//TODO: Insert your Artifactory URL and credentials
+private static String userName = "<YOUR_USERNAME>";
+private static String password = "<YOUR_PASSWORD>";
+private static String artifactoryUrl = "<ARTIFACTORY_URL>";
+```
