+### Maven build
+
+This project is not published to NPM, rather Maven, as the primary consumer is [zipkin-server](../zipkin-server).
+`../mvnw clean install` installs and builds via NPM. The resulting assets, such as index.html, are
+placed into the "zipkin-lens" directory of zipkin-lens.jar. This is published on release as

 For the reverse proxy configuration to work, Zipkin needs to be started with the `zipkin.ui.basepath`
 parameter pointing to the proxy path:
 
-```
+```bash
 java -jar zipkin.jar --zipkin.ui.basepath=/proxy/foo/myzipkin

 ## Authentication / Authorization
 
 Zipkin Lens can be secured by running it behind an authenticating proxy like [Apache HTTPD](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/auth.html), [Nginx](https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_auth_basic_module.html) or similar.
