+Cordapp Plugins
+===============
+
+Building Plugins
+----------------
+
+To build the plugins that Cordapps require run the following from the root of the Corda project:
+
+..code-block::
+
+    gradlew publishToMavenLocal
+
+The plugins will now be installed to MavenLocal.
+
+Installing Plugins
+------------------
+
+To use the plugins, if you are not already using the Cordapp template project, you must modify your build.gradle. Add
+the following segments to the relevant part of your build.gradle.
+
+..code-block::
+
+    buildscript {
+        ext.corda_version = '<enter the corda version you build against here>'
+        ... (your buildscript)
+
+        repositories {
+            ... (other repositories)
+            mavenLocal()
+        }
+
+        dependencies {
+            ... (your dependencies)
+            classpath "com.r3corda.plugins:<plugin-maven-name>:$corda_version"
+        }
+    }
+
+    apply plugin: 'com.r3corda.plugins.<plugin-maven-name>'
+
+    ...
+
+Cordformation
+-------------
+
+Plugin Maven Name::
+
+    cordformation
+
+Cordformation is the local node deployment system for Cordapps, the nodes generated are intended to be used for
+experimenting, debugging, and testing node configurations and setups but not intended for production or testnet
+deployment.
+
+To use this plugin you must add a new task that is of the type `com.r3corda.plugins.Cordform` and then configure
+the nodes you wish to deploy with the Node and nodes configuration DSL. This DSL is specified in the JavaDoc but
+an example of this is in the template-cordapp and below is a three node example;
+
+..code-block::
+
+    task deployNodes(type: com.r3corda.plugins.Cordform, dependsOn: ['build']) {
+        directory "./build/nodes" // The output directory
+        networkMap "Notary" // This will resolve a node in this configuration
+        node {
+            name "Notary"
+            dirName "notary"
+            nearestCity "London"
+            notary true // Sets this node to be a notary
+            advertisedServices = []
+            artemisPort 12345
+            webPort 12346
+            cordapps = []
+        }
+        node {
+            name "NodeA"
+            dirName "nodea"
+            nearestCity "London"
+            advertisedServices = []
+            artemisPort 31337
+            webPort 31339
+            cordapps = []
+        }
+        node {
+            name "NodeB"
+            dirName "nodeb"
+            nearestCity "New York"
+            advertisedServices = []
+            artemisPort 31338
+            webPort 31340
+            cordapps = []
+        }
+    }
+
+Because it is a task you can create multiple tasks with multiple configurations that you use commonly.
+
+New nodes can be added by simply adding another node block and giving it a different name, directory and ports. When you
+run this task it will install the nodes to the directory specified and a script will be generated (for *nix users only
+at present) to run the nodes with one command.
+
+Other cordapps can also be specified if they are already specified as classpath or compile dependencies in your
+build.gradle.
+
+Publish Utils
+-------------
+
+Plugin Maven Name::
+
+    publish-utils
+
+Publishing utilities adds a couple of tasks to any project it is applied to that hide some boilerplate that would
+otherwise be placed in the Cordapp template's build.gradle.
+
+There are two tasks exposed: `sourceJar` and `javadocJar` and both return a `FileCollection`.
+
+It is used within the `publishing` block of a build.gradle as such;
+
+..code-block::
+
+    // This will publish the sources, javadoc, and Java components to Maven.
+    // See the `maven-publish` plugin for more info: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/publishing_maven.html
+    publishing {
+        publications {
+            jarAndSources(MavenPublication) {
+                from components.java
+                // The two lines below are the tasks added by this plugin.
+                artifact sourceJar
+                artifact javadocJar
+            }
+        }
+    }
+
+Quasar Utils
+------------
+
+Plugin Maven Name::
+
+    quasar-utils
+
+Quasar utilities adds several tasks and configuration that provide a default Quasar setup and removes some boilerplate.
+One line must be added to your build.gradle once you apply this plugin:
+
+..code-block::
+
+    quasarScan.dependsOn('classes')
+
+If any sub-projects are added that this project depends on then add the gradle target for that project to the depends
+on statement. eg:
+
+..code-block::
+
+    quasarScan.dependsOn('classes', 'subproject:subsubproject', ...)
+
+
