# Getting Started
Targets Java 21, Maven 3.8 or later, and QQQ 4.0.0. Maven resolves the framework dependencies from Maven Central.
1. Choose **Use this template** on GitHub, then clone the repository you created.
2. In `pom.xml`, set your own `groupId`, `artifactId`, name, description, and version.
3. Use your IDE's package refactoring to rename `com.kingsrook.qbits.example` throughout `src/`. Rename the `Example*` classes and update their imports and references with the IDE's rename refactoring.
4. Update the QBit producer's `GROUP_ID`, `ARTIFACT_ID`, and `VERSION` constants to match your project. Give the metadata names their own stable names before combining the QBit with other examples.
5. Build the generated project:
```bash
mvn clean verify
```
The repository provides example Java sources; customization uses normal package/class refactoring. Keep example coordinates unpublished. After customizing, add tests for your QBit's behavior before setting up its publishing workflow.
## Register with a host application
The following uses the original example names; substitute the names chosen above:
```java
new ExampleDataQBitProducer()
.withConfig(new ExampleDataQBitConfig()
.withBackendName("rdbms"))
.produce(qInstance, "my-data");
```
Register the configured backend in the host first. If you add table prefixes or multiple QBit instances, update related table references, possible-value-source names, and process/widget names consistently. A table prefix alone does not namespace all metadata.
[Data QBit Architecture](01-data-qbit-architecture.md) explains the example data model.
