In this tutorial, we will be elaborating on how to replicate our OSGI project application. We will provide a brief explanation of each plug-in project needed, the packages that corresponds to those projects, and of course the java source files that will be used to create the program.

=Project=
For this project,  we are going to create a weather service program using the osgi framework. This project will contain three bundles: Consumer, Interface and Provider bundles. The Interface bundle will contain a set of interface and classes used by both Consumer and Provider. The Provider bundle will provide a service to return weather information for a selected city. The Consumer bundle will use the service reference to get weather information from the Provider and display in a GUI window based on Java Swing Library.

3. Likewise create 2 more plug-in projects called interface and provider. Uncheck the 'Generate Activator' option for interface.
4. In the interface bundle, we create a package, ecl.team2.project.weather. We will create classes and interface java files that are used by consumer and provider bundles.
