Research direction

Start by locating the Java examples and the Maven dependency declarations, then check how SKBuilder is referenced and whether that class exists in the current project. Reproduce the build using the available Maven dependencies and compare the example filenames with the actual source files. Done means the samples build and the kernel-building example can be run.

Description

bug java triage

Describe the bug
O think that there is an inconsistency between the examples and the actual filenames

Even when installing all available maven deps, I wasn't able to find the SKBuilder class to actually build the Kernels, therefore leaving me unable to test anything

Did any changes happened recently that leaves the examples obsolete?
