 ## Java function basics
 
-A Java function is a `public` method, decorated with the annotation `@FunctionName`. This method defines the entry for a Java function, and must be unique in a particular package. The package can have multiple classes with multiple public methods annotated with `@FunctionName`. A single package is deployed to a function app in Azure. When running in Azure, the function app provides the deployment, execution, and management context for your individual Java functions.

 If you prefer command line development from the Terminal, the simplest way to scaffold Java-based function projects is to use `Apache Maven` archetypes. The Java Maven archetype for Azure Functions is published under the following _groupId_:_artifactId_: [com.microsoft.azure:azure-functions-archetype](https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.microsoft.azure/azure-functions-archetype/).

 ## Java versions
 
-The version of Java used when creating the function app on which functions runs in Azure is specified in the pom.xml file. The Maven archetype currently generates a pom.xml for Java 8, which you can change before publishing. The Java version in pom.xml should match the version on which you have locally developed and tested your app.
