It depends on what you are trying to do. In general, to use the SDK, you need to get a client ID and secret from App Center on Code@ExactTarget, instantiate an ETClient object with that client ID and secret, then use that instance as the authentication context for future interactions. For example, here is how you retrieve a data extension and add a row to it:

// specifiy client ID and secret
ETConfiguration configuration = new ETConfiguration();
configuration.setClientId(YOUR_CLIENT_ID_GOES_HERE);
configuration.setClientSecret(YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET_GOES_HERE);

// instantiate ETClient object
ETClient client = new ETClient(configuration);

// retrieve the data extension "products"
ETFilter filter = new ETSimpleFilter("Name",
                                     ETFilterOperators.EQUALS,
                                     "products");
ETDataExtension dataExtension = client.retrieveDataExtension(filter);

// add a row to the data extension "products"
ETDataExtensionRow row = new ETDataExtensionRow();
row.setColumn("id", "123");
row.setColumn("name", "My Great Product");
row.setColumn("price", "42.00");
dataExtension.insert(row);

As Ivan mentions, you can also use the raw API in Java as well.
