It&#x27;s unfortunate that it&#x27;s the first Java example provided for anything to do with SWF. I got dumped into that from the &quot;what is SWF&quot; page. There&#x27;s no simple Java SWF example like there is for C#. The docs dump you straight into the Flow Framework.<p>I&#x27;d argue based on Occams Razor that a more simplistic start is what most people want. Unfortunately to get that you have to look at the documentation of another language.
