 # Getting Started with BigQuery and the Google Java API Client library
 
-Google's BigQuery Service features a REST-based API that allows developers to create applications to run ad-hoc queries on massive datasets. These sample Java applications demonstrate how to access the BigQuery API using the Google Java API Client Libraries. For more information, read the [Getting Started with BigQuery and the Google Java API Client library][1] codelab.
+Google's BigQuery Service features a REST-based API that allows developers to create applications to run ad-hoc queries
+on massive datasets. These sample Java applications demonstrate how to access the BigQuery API using the Google Java API
+Client Libraries.
+
+For more information, read the [Getting Started with BigQuery and the Google Java API Client
+library][1] codelab.
 
 ## Quickstart
 
 Install [Maven](http://maven.apache.org/).
 
 Build your project with:
 
-	mvn package -DskipTests
+	mvn clean package -DskipTests
 
 You can then run a given `ClassName` via:
