 Functional Java is an open source library facilitating functional programming in Java. The library implements numerous basic and advanced programming abstractions that assist composition oriented development. Functional Java also serves as a platform for learning functional programming concepts by introducing these concepts using a familiar language.
 
-The library is intended for use in production applications and is thoroughly tested using the technique of automated specification-based testing with ScalaCheck and Functional Java's quickcheck module. Functional Java is compiled with Java 8 targeting Java 7 bytecode. The use of lambdas within the project are back ported with the Retro Lambda library, supporting Java versions 6 to 8.

 == Building
 
-FunctionalJava uses the Retro Lambda project to backport Java 8 lambdas to Java 6 bytecode.  This requires access to both JDK 6 and 8.  The build system requires the environment variables `JAVA6_HOME` and `JAVA8_HOME` to refer to the appropriate directories.
-
-Building is done using Gradle 6.8.3.  In the root directory run:
