Yes. It&#x27;s more complicated than it needs to be, but to jump from this to &quot;aws java doc sucks&quot;? Most AWS doc (java or something else is pretty straightforward).<p>Here is a minimal SWF sample I&#x27;ve put together a while back: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mirceal&#x2F;swf-flow-java18-sample&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;README.md" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mirceal&#x2F;swf-flow-java18-sample&#x2F;blob&#x2F;maste...</a><p>Also, Flow makes things exceptionally simple once you get how it works.<p>The SWF api is waaaay harder to use (correctly) than going through this tutorial.
