These declarations tell Equinox to load and start the jars at launch time. I put the jars in a folder
called spring , which itself is located under the eclipse/plugins folder.
We have one last thing to do to see it all working. We need to install and start the client. There is no
change in this process from before. We repeat it here for clarity. Run the Equinox console:
java -jar eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_YOUR_VERSION.jar -console

Then, install and start the client:

install file:/path/to/your/client/jar.jar
start 12

If everything goes to plan, you should see the application contexts recognized by Spring and you
should, towards the end of the output, see the output from the invocation of the service.

12-3. How do I Export a Service Using Spring Dynamic Modules?

Problem
You want to create services and have those automatically installed in the registry, as we did in the first
recipe, available for other services to depend on. This process is different because we will no longer
register the services in Java code, and instead will let Spring export the service on our behalf.
