1. Get the actual YOUnite Adaptor SDK. For Java, the most common method is to use the YOUnite-provided Maven artifact. If you don't use Maven, you can optionally download the SDK library directly. <TODO Kevin: Link here to latest sdk jar file>.
2. Use the following Maven configuration in your settings.xml file:

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.younite</groupId>
    <artifactId>adaptor-sdk</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

...

Once an adaptor is connected to the YOUnite Data Hub through the YOUnite Message Bus, it is able to send and receive data and ops messages. The SDK has minimal configuration steps, allowing developers to focus on their adaptor's business logic instead of the inner workings of sending and receiving messages, parsing those messages, etc. To facilitate getting your adaptor up and running, the YOUnite Adaptor SDK makes use of  annotations. Developers use these annotations to define the adatpor's capabilities: what their adaptor can produce and/or consume. Capabilities loosely translate into a Pub/Sub configuration on the YOUnite Data Hub.

As mentioned previously, when an adaptor is started (by calling the AdaptorSDK.init() method), it builds the list of capabilities that it must send to the YOUnite Data Hub. The Adaptor Capabilities List consists of the capabilities an adaptor declares to the YOUnite Data Hub upon initialization that 1) link records in the underlying application/service to YOUnite data records, 2) POST entries in the underlying application/service that link to YOUnite data records, and 3) manipulate data in the underlying service.

The capabilities list lets the Data Hub know:
