Hi Ignacio
The first question to be answered is whether you are looking to
program against the SoftLayer API *directly*, or whether you would
like to use jclouds' ComputeService abstraction, which would allow you
to potentially move to a different provider without changing your
code. See [1] for some background.
If you decide to program against the abstraction, the simple
compute-basics example [2] is a good place to start - you'll only need
the identity and credential for your SoftLayer account.
If you're looking to program directly against the SoftLayer API, the
ec2-createlamp example demonstrates how to get at the underlying API,
and the Javadocs for the SoftLayer API itself [4] will tell you which
calls are available.
Good luck!
