+# QuickFIX/J Code Generator Maven Plugin
 
+A Maven plugin that generates Java source files for FIX (Financial Information eXchange) messages from QuickFIX XML dictionaries.
 
-NB: The first released version is 3.0.2 so that it does not conflict with the released 3.0.0 version (which still was part of the full QuickFIX/J release). From now on the plugin will be separate from QFJ.
+## Overview
+
+The QuickFIX/J Code Generator Maven Plugin allows you to automatically create Java sources for FIX Messages based on a QuickFIX XML dictionary. This plugin simplifies the development of FIX protocol implementations by generating the necessary message classes, field definitions, and other FIX-related Java code.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Maven 3.9.12 or higher
+- Java 8 or higher
+
+## Installation
+
+Add the plugin to your project's `pom.xml`:
+
+```xml
+<build>
+    <plugins>
+        <plugin>
+            <groupId>org.quickfixj</groupId>
+            <artifactId>quickfixj-codegenerator</artifactId>
+            <version>3.0.2</version>
+            <executions>
+                <execution>
+                    <goals>
+                        <goal>generate</goal>
+                    </goals>
+                </execution>
+            </executions>
+            <configuration>
+                <!-- Configuration options here -->
+            </configuration>
+        </plugin>
+    </plugins>
+</build>
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+The plugin will automatically generate Java sources during the Maven build lifecycle. Configure the plugin to specify:
+
+- The location of your QuickFIX XML dictionary file
+- The output directory for generated sources
+- Package names for generated classes
+- Other generation options as needed
+
+### Running the Generator
+
+Execute the plugin as part of your Maven build:
+
+```bash
+mvn clean install
+```
+
+Or run the plugin goal directly:
+
+```bash
+mvn quickfixj-codegenerator:generate
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Detailed configuration options can be specified in the `<configuration>` section of the plugin declaration. Refer to the plugin documentation for available parameters.
+
+## Version Information
+
+> **NB:** The first released version is 3.0.2 so that it does not conflict with the released 3.0.0 version (which still was part of the full QuickFIX/J release). From now on the plugin will be separate from QFJ.
