SpringBoot Workflow Examples

[cicoyle]

We should have springboot workflow examples that include a README and mechanical markdown so users can copy paste instructions and have a full working example running locally. Currently, we only have docs here - but we should have an easy example in the repo here.

Ideally all these workflow patterns are supported + have examples

We should have very clear and concise examples. A producer/consumer app for a workflow example is a bit confusing and misleading. It would be implied that those are pubsub example apps. We should pull out the workflow bits from the PubSub example, move the producer/consumer apps into a pubsub folder. Then have separate examples per the above sub tasks for workflow patterns. I can create a separate issue for this to be clearer for end users

We should follow the existing pattern in the sdk for examples where we have an examples directory like here, that then has a folder per API. Then, for example, we should have a folder inside the a workflow folder per workflow pattern so users can more easily understand what each pattern looks like.

Fully agree with this. The .NET and https://github.com/dapr/dotnet-sdk/tree/master/examples/Workflow and Python SDKs https://github.com/dapr/python-sdk/tree/main/examples/workflow do this well
