+= Data Flow Template Example
+
+This example provides an example of using the Spring Cloud Data Flow Template to
+interact with a Spring Cloud Data Flow server programmatically.
+
+This examples, will import
+https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-stream-app-starters/[Stream App Starter applications]
+and print the the list of imported application to the console.
+
+In order to get everything running we need to setup the following server instances:
+
+* Spring Cloud Skipper (secured by OAUTH2, port `7577`)
+* Spring Cloud Data Flow (secured by OAUTH2, port `9393`)
+
+== Build + Run
+
+Configure the example application in `DataflowTemplateApplication.java`. Then build
+using `$ mvn clean package` and run using
+`$ java -jar target/dataflow-template-1.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT.jar`
