• First download Eclipse Classic from here

Create the Interface Bundle

• We now need to create a new plugin project, to do so do the following: File->New->Plug-in Project
• After selecting Plug-in Project from the options, give the Project a name according to the lab structure defined in the previous tutorial (cs.ecl.lab.<name here>
• After doing so, click next, where you will be presented with a screen that provides you with the project ID, version, name, ect. There will be an options section at the bottom of the window, be sure to unclick generate an activator, as it is not needed for the lab as the bundel is just interfaces and it is not run
• You will now be presented with a screen that looks like the following:

• If we want to use our package, we must export it in the interface bundle. First select MANIFEST.MF, then click on the runtime tab, and select "Add", then select your package. (Refer to Image below)
• Congratulations! You have successfully exported your package and we are ready to move onto step 2, implementing the Service Provider.
