RestFB is a single JAR - just drop it into your app and you're ready to go. Download it from Maven Central:
Just type
mvn package
and the jars will be built and can be found in the target folder.
We provide well-curated documentation with many code examples. These are all clearly commented and give a good overview of the functionality RestFB provides.
Additionally, you can take a look at the integration tests here on GitHub. Some interesting use cases are exercised there and you can get a good idea of the different features that are provided by RestFB.
There is also the example project on GitHub. It contains a suite of tools that can be triggered via Maven calls. Additionally, for the fetching and publishing example, you can find a JavaFX code sample, that shows how you can use an embedded browser to fetch a user access token.
