-On Debian-like systems (which includes ubuntu), you need the following
-packages: sun-java6-jdk libgcj10-dev. If you cannot find the
-libgcj10-dev, try another version, like libgcj9-dev (on Ubuntu before
-9.10) or libgcj11-dev (not released yet, but certainly one day).
-Please note that you need to activate the contrib and non-free
-repositories in Debian, and the universe ones in Ubuntu. Java comes at
-this price...

+Welcome to the SimGrid project!

+SimGrid is a scientific instrument to study the behavior of 
+large-scale distributed systems such as Grids, Clouds, HPC or P2P
+systems. It can be used to evaluate heuristics, prototype applications 
+or even assess legacy MPI applications.
+
+More documentation is included in this archive (doc/html/index.html)
