+= Downloading Add-ons from Vaadin Directory
+
+If you are not using Maven or a Maven-compatible dependency manager such as Ivy,
+or want to manage for your libraries manually, you can download add-on packages
+from the details page of an add-on in Vaadin Directory.
+
+. Select the version; some add-ons have several versions available. The latest is
+shown by default, but you can choose another the version to download from the
+dropdown menu in the header of the details page.
+
+. Click [guibutton]#Download Now# and save the JAR or Zip file on your computer.
+
+. If the add-on is packaged in a Zip package, unzip the package and follow any
+instructions provided inside the package. Typically, you just need to copy a JAR
+file to your web project under the [filename]#WEB-INF/lib# directory.
+
++
+Note that some add-ons may require other libraries. You can resolve such
+dependencies manually, but we recommend using a dependency manager such as Ivy
+or Maven in your project.
+
+. Update and recompile your project. In Eclipse, select the project and press F5.
+
+. You may need to compile the client-side implementations of the add-on
+components, that is, a __widget set__. This is the case for majority of add-ons,
+except for pure server-side, theme, or data binding add-ons. Compiling the
+widget set depends on the build environment. See <<addons.downloading.ant>>, or
+later in this chapter for instructions for compiling the widget set with Eclipse
+and
+Maven.+
+////
+See &lt;xref linkend="addons.compiling"/&gt; for
+instructions.
+////
+
+. Update the project in your development web server and possibly restart the
+server.

+== Compiling Widget Sets with an Ant Script
+
+If you need to compile the widget set with an Ant script, you can find a script
+template package at the link:http://vaadin.com/download/[Vaadin download page].
+You can copy the files in the package to your project and, once configured, use
+it by running Ant in the directory.
+
+If you are using an IDE such as Eclipse, __always__ remember to refresh the
+project to synchronize it with the filesystem after compiling the widget set
+outside the IDE.
