+Provides resources for installing Apache ActiveMQ and managing the Apache ActiveMQ service for use in wrapper cookbooks. Installs from tarballs from the Apache.org website by default.
 
 ## Requirements
 
@@ -33,13 +33,43 @@ Installs Apache ActiveMQ and sets up the service using the included init script.
 
 ## Usage
 
-Simply add `recipe[activemq]` to a run list.
+Due to the complexity of configuring ActiveMQ it's not possible to create a single solution that solves everyone's potential desired configuration. Instead this cookbook provides resources for installing and managing the ActiveMQ service, which are best used in your own wrapper cookbook. The best way to understand how this could be used is to look at the docs_example test recipe located at test/cookbooks/test/recipes/docs_example.rb
+
+## Resources
+
+### activemq_install
+
+The activemq_install resource installs an instance of the Apache ActiveMQ binary direct from Apache's mirror site. As distro packages are not used we can easily deploy per-instance installations and any version available on the Apache archive site can be installed.

+* checksum_base_path, String, The base path to the location containing the checksum file.   default: 'http://archive.apache.org/dist/activemq/'
+* exclude_docs, [true, false], default: true
+* exclude_examples, [true, false], default: true
