8. Creating an OSGi Application
! Enter a project name
! Select your platform profile
! Add OSGi services
! Write a mobile device
application as you would a
J2EE web application
! Deploy to OSGi enabled
device
9. ! A stock quote web service
client bundle
! Generated web service client
code
! Running in WSDD
! OSGi compliant SMF bundle
