Why publish such an unusable "framework" ?

This is the strangest project I've ever seen. You guys have a page with a lot of hype how good it is, but do not have any
usable documentation, neither on the web site or in the downloadable APIs.
It's impossible to understand it.
I'm trying to download the source code into my IDE (IntelliJ) so I can examine it, but it's practically impossible as the downloads you provide
are a completely different structure. You don't have a Maven source tree to download either, only the pom and the artifacts.
If you provide no usable documentation and make it practically impossible to build the project and examine your extensive code ourselves,
how can we use this? 
Does anyone actually use this "framework"?
After examining the code a lot of it seems like completely useless abstractions, just for the sake of abstraction, like having a class "StyleSheetItem".
I really get the feeling you guys may need some psychiatric help.

Marco,

This is really a strange way to ask help.

I'm impatient to see how good will be your code; oh please publish it in open source we have so many things to learn from you

Okay so you can help me? How can I import the project into IntelliJ, so I can look through your source code? 
If you provide a Maven project with all the original directories I could just download and would have it done in 5 seconds. But as far as I can see you don't.
So how do I do this? I have no idea what your provided directory structure is, and how I could use this. It would take me a huge effort just to be able to browse your source code.
The API is not documented most classes have no documentation whatsoever, so where can I find the instructions for using this?
I'm utterly confused.

For sure I can help you, like all other users I have helped before...

But if you come here to say that the project is ugly and has been made by people ( so I, because I have done 99% of the work) that require some psychiatric help, the only answer you will have is a lesson to learn how to put your keyboard into your ***.

This is an Open Source project, take it as-is or go away !


The only people that is stupid here is you:

Did you read the installation documentation page ? I don't think so ?

All the code source is available into Github: if you are not able to clone a git repo: learn it and don't blame us.

All binaries, javadoc, and sources are available as jar into Maven Central and JCenter (Bintray), so again learn and shut up !

All classes are documented, sometimes with a small description.

To conclude, I you want assistance change your mind and be more respectful or try another library, there are plenty of others.
