+# Getting Started with Google Stackdriver Monitoring API and the Google Cloud Client libraries
+
+[Google Stackdriver Monitoring API][monitoring] collects metrics, events, and
+metadata from Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS), hosted uptime
+probes, application instrumentation, and a variety of common application
+components including Cassandra, Nginx, Apache Web Server, Elasticsearch and many
+others.
+
+These sample Java applications demonstrate how to access the Stackdriver
+Monitoring API using the [Google Cloud Client Library for Java][google-cloud-java].
+
+[monitoring]: https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/docs/
+[google-cloud-java]: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-java
+
+## Quickstart
+
+Install [Maven](http://maven.apache.org/).
+
+Build your project with:
+
+ mvn clean package -DskipTests
+
+You can then run a given `ClassName` via:
+
+ mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=com.example.monitoring.ClassName \
+ -DpropertyName=propertyValue \
+ -Dexec.args="arg1 'arg 2' arg3"
+
+### Analyze a string for sentiment (using the quickstart sample)
+
+ mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=com.example.monitoring.QuickstartSample \
+ -DprojectId=YOUR_PROJECT_ID
