+The docker runtime includes a compiler to help users compile and package Swift 4.2 actions.

+### Compiling a single source file for Swift 4.2
+
+To compile a single source file that doesn't depend on external libaries you can use the following command:
+```bash
+docker run -i openwhisk/action-swift-v4.2 -compile main <hello.swift >hello.zip
+```
+The docker container reads from stdin the content of the file, and writes to stdout a zip archive with the compiled swift executable.
+Use the flag `-compile` with the name of the main method.
+The zip archive is ready for deployment and invocation using the kind `swift:4.2`
+```bash
+wsk action update helloSwiftly hello.zip --kind swift:4.2
+wsk action invoke helloSwiftly -r -p name World
+```

+### Compiling dependencies and multi-file projects for Swift 4.2
+
+To compile multiple files and include external dependencies create the following directory structure.
+```
+.
+├── Package.swift
+└── Sources
+    └── main.swift
+```
+The directory `Sources/` should contain a file named `main.swift`.
+The `Package.swift` should start with a comment specifying version `4.2` for the Swift tooling:
+```swift
+// swift-tools-version:4.2
+import PackageDescription
+
+let package = Package(
+    name: "Action",
+    products: [
+    .executable(
