 # arcticweb-usermanual
-User manual for the ArcticWeb application.
+User manual for the ArcticWeb application. The user manual is a simple HTML page being accompanied
+by CSS, JS and images. The user manual has been separated from the ArcticWeb application, because it is
+important, that ArcticWeb users are only downloading the user manual upon first access or after an update.
+This is ensured by maintaining the user manual in a separate project and only generating the usermanual.appcache
+file upon changes to the user manual (in this project).
 
-You can include the arcticweb-usermanual in your own project. Add it as a npm dependency. E.g.
+## Usage
+The ArcticWeb user manual is build and distributed as a war file. Include it in another web project by adding
+the following dependency (in another maven web application project)
 
 ```
-npm install arcticweb-usermanual
+<dependency>
+	<groupId>dk.dma.arcticweb</groupId>
+	<artifactId>arcticweb-usermanual</artifactId>
+	<version>2.3</version>
+	<type>war</type>
+</dependency>
