+# OpenFeature Java Proxy
+
+This is a proxy service that bridges between the test harness and the DevCycle Java SDK. While initially intended to use OpenFeature for flag evaluation, it currently uses the DevCycle SDK directly due to the lack of an official DevCycle OpenFeature provider for Java.
+
+## Overview
+
+The OpenFeature Java Proxy provides the same functionality as the regular Java proxy and maintains compatibility with the existing test harness. It supports both local and cloud bucketing configurations using the DevCycle Java SDK.
+
+## Features
+
+- **DevCycle Integration**: Uses DevCycle Java SDK directly for feature flag evaluation
+- **Multiple Client Types**: Supports both DevCycle local and cloud clients  
+- **EdgeDB Support**: Compatible with EdgeDB when using cloud bucketing
+- **Local Bucketing**: Supports local flag evaluation for reduced latency
+- **OpenFeature API Compatibility**: Maintains the same API interface as the OpenFeature Node.js proxy
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+### GET /spec
+Returns the proxy specification including name, version, and capabilities.
+
+### POST /client
+Creates a new client instance with the specified configuration.
+
+### POST /*/*
+Executes commands on existing client instances.
+
+## Building and Running
+
+```bash
+# Build the application
+./gradlew bootJar
+
+# Run the application
+java -jar build/libs/openfeature-java-proxy.jar
+```
+
+## Docker
+
+```bash
+# Build the Docker image
+docker build -t openfeature-java-proxy .
+
+# Run the container
+docker run -p 3000:3000 openfeature-java-proxy
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+- `JAVA_SDK_VERSION`: Specific version of the DevCycle Java SDK to use
+- `SDK_GITHUB_SHA`: Git SHA for using a specific development version
+- `LOCAL_MODE`: Set to "1" to use local SDK development mode
+- `SDKS_TO_TEST`: Comma-separated list of SDKs to test (should include "of-java")
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+This proxy was originally designed to use OpenFeature for Java, but due to the lack of an official DevCycle OpenFeature provider for Java, it currently uses the DevCycle Java SDK directly. The implementation maintains the same API interface as the OpenFeature Node.js version by:
+
+- Using DevCycle SDK's `variable()` method for flag evaluation
+- Converting DevCycle variables to the expected DVCVariable format
+- Supporting both local and cloud DevCycle clients
+- Maintaining compatibility with the existing test harness commands
+
+Future updates may integrate an official DevCycle OpenFeature provider when available.

+#
+#   Gradle start up script for POSIX generated by Gradle.
+#
+#   Important for running:
+#
+#   (1) You need a POSIX-compliant shell to run this script. If your /bin/sh is
+#       noncompliant, but you have some other compliant shell such as ksh or
+#       bash, then to run this script, type that shell name before the whole
+#       command line, like:
+#
+#           ksh Gradle
+#
+#       Busybox and similar reduced shells will NOT work, because this script
+#       requires all of these POSIX shell features:
+#         * functions;
+#         * expansions «$var», «${var}», «${var:-default}», «${var+SET}»,
+#           «${var#prefix}», «${var%suffix}», and «$( cmd )»;
+#         * compound commands having a testable exit status, especially «case»;
+#         * various built-in commands including «command», «set», and «ulimit».
+#
+#   Important for patching:
+#
+#   (2) This script targets any POSIX shell, so it avoids extensions provided
+#       by Bash, Ksh, etc; in particular arrays are avoided.
+#
+#       The "traditional" practice of packing multiple parameters into a
+#       space-separated string is a well documented source of bugs and security
+#       problems, so this is (mostly) avoided, by progressively accumulating
+#       options in "$@", and eventually passing that to Java.
+#
+#       Where the inherited environment variables (DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS, JAVA_OPTS,
+#       and GRADLE_OPTS) rely on word-splitting, this is performed explicitly;
+#       see the in-line comments for details.
+#
+#       There are tweaks for specific operating systems such as AIX, CygWin,
+#       Darwin, MinGW, and NonStop.
+#
+#   (3) This script is generated from the Groovy template
+#       https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/master/subprojects/plugins/src/main/resources/org/gradle/api/internal/plugins/unixStartScript.txt
+#       within the Gradle project.
