    <version>0.22</version>

<dependency>
    <groupId>de.ppi.oss</groupId>
    <artifactId>fuwesta-core</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

</repositories>

You can use the sample-app as a starting point. There you find a Readme.md which explains how to setup eclipse and some of the main-ideas. You can take the sample-app and remove all under the package example except the config. A clean maven archetype is on the todo-list.

If you want to see FuWeSta in action you can checkout SZE.
