+User guide for Convert Project Plugin
+-------------------------------------
+
+Introduction
+'''''''''''''
+This page describes how to use and configure Convert Project plugin. This plugin is 
+used to convert old style configuration structure to Configuration project. The plugin 
+can be used to create files and folders. For a folder you can define using absolute paths
+or wildcards which files from previous structure are copied to the new structure. For files
+it is possible just to copy a file from one location to another, create layer and configuration
+root files. For these more complex type of files you can select which files are included using
+absolute path or wildcards.
+
+
+Configuring
+''''''''''''
+Plugin is configured by modifying .convertprojectml file that must be located in some layer's implml folder
+that is included in generated configuration. Typical case is that the plugin is used in products that don't
+have configuration project and layers. In that case refer to Installation/Running part.
