+# Eclipse BaSyx Java Components
+[![BaSyx Logo](https://www.eclipse.org/basyx/img/basyxlogo.png)](https://www.eclipse.org/basyx/)
+
+The Eclipse BaSyx Java Components are part of the [Eclipse BaSyx middleware](https://www.eclipse.org/basyx/). The Components utilize the [BaSyx Java SDK](https://github.com/eclipse-basyx/basyx-java-sdk) to provide easy to use off-the-shelf components and have been created within the [BaSys](https://www.basys40.de/) project.
+
+## Eclipse Wiki
+A detailed technical and user documentation can be found in the [Eclipse BaSyx wiki](https://wiki.eclipse.org/BaSyx). For the Java SDK, you can find instructions about [how to install](https://wiki.eclipse.org/BaSyx_/_Download_/_Java_Setup) and find [introductory](https://wiki.eclipse.org/BaSyx_/_Introductory_Examples) and [extended](https://wiki.eclipse.org/BaSyx_/_Examples) code examples and further [scenarios](https://wiki.eclipse.org/BaSyx_/_Scenarios). Also, see the description of the individual [components and their API](https://wiki.eclipse.org/BaSyx_/_Documentation_/_API).
