+Models are listed as dependencies in the POM and built into the WARfile. In order to make it possible
+to configure your own set of models to include, we have separated the model dependencies out in a 
+separate file. The default is `models.xml`, and contains the models that VIPS in Norway are using 
+currently. 
+
+To build the package with the default set of models, run 
 
+```bash
+$ build_with_models.py
 ```
 
-You also need to make sure you have the dependency modules available.
+To build with your preferred set of models, create a new file called e.g. `my_models.xml` and run
+
+```bash
+$ build_with_models.py my_models.xml
+```
