+# ECOMP Portal Web Application Back End Common Files
+
+## Overview
+
+This is a Maven overlay project with the ECOMP Portal back-end common files.
+This is not a stand-alone web application. This project has common Java classes
+that are used in the internal and ONAP versions of the ECOMP Portal web application.
+Those specific versions are built using separate Maven projects that copy in
+("overlay") the contents of this project at package time and that use the jar
+built by this project.
