 =====
 
-This plugin is built with Buck.

-Build standalone
-----------------
+Standalone build mode is recommended, as this mode doesn't require local Gerrit tree to exist. Moreover, there are some limitations and additional manual steps required when building in Gerrit tree mode (see corresponding sections).
 
-Clone bucklets library:
-
-```
-  git clone https://gerrit.googlesource.com/bucklets

-```
-and link it to @PLUGIN@ directory:
-
-```
-  cd @PLUGIN@ && ln -s ../bucklets .

-Add link to the .buckversion file:

-```
-
-Add link to the .watchmanconfig file:
-
-```
-  cd @PLUGIN@ && ln -s bucklets/watchmanconfig .watchmanconfig
-```
+## Build standalone
 
 To build the plugin, issue the following command:
 
 ```
-  buck build plugin
+  bazel build @PLUGIN@
+
+```
+The output is created in

+```
+
+To package the plugin sources run:
+
+```
+  bazel build lib@PLUGIN@__plugin-src.jar
 ```
 
 The output is created in:
 
 ```

 This project can be imported into the Eclipse IDE:
