 # AWS SDK for Java v2 Migration Tool
 
 ## Description
-This modules contains [OpenRewrite][open-rewrite] recipes to automate migration from the AWS SDK for Java v1 to the AWS SDK for Java v2.
+This module contains [OpenRewrite][open-rewrite] recipes to automate migration from the AWS SDK for Java v1 to the 
+AWS SDK for Java v2.
+
+While the majority of v1 code is supported by recipes that transform to the v2 equivalent, there are some classes and 
+methods not covered by the migration tool. For these classes and methods, refer to our 
+[Developer Guide][developer-guide-steps] and [API Reference][api-reference-v2] to manually migrate your code.
 
 ## Usage
 
-For steps on performing the migration, see our [Developer Guide][developer-guide].
+For detailed steps on using the tool, see our [Developer Guide][developer-guide].
+
+### Maven Project
+
+To transform a Maven project, run the following command from your project root directory:
+
+```
+mvn org.openrewrite.maven:rewrite-maven-plugin:6.17.0 \
+  -Drewrite.recipeArtifactCoordinates=software.amazon.awssdk:v2-migration:2.34.0 \
+  -Drewrite.activeRecipes=software.amazon.awssdk.v2migration.AwsSdkJavaV1ToV2
+```
+
+**Note:** Newer OpenRewrite versions may not be compatible. If errors occur during the transforms, specify the 
+[SDK supported version][maven-plugin-version], e.g., `6.17.0`, and run the command again.
