/**
 * This class implements a bundle that uses a dictionary service to check for
 * the proper spelling of a word by check for its existence in the dictionary.
 * This bundle uses the first service that it finds and does not monitor the
 * dynamic availability of the service (i.e., it does not listen for the arrival
 * or departure of dictionary services). When starting this bundle, the thread
 * calling the start() method is used to read words from standard input. You can
 * stop checking words by entering an empty line, but to start checking words
 * again you must stop and then restart the bundle.
