[lyo-dev] What is the purpose of registry?

[Vinod Kumar Choudhary <vinodkc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

What is the purpose of registry is OSLC SDK? Is it essential to use the
registry while using OSLC SDK? While looking at Stock Quote sample
application registry need to be started before starting the Stock Quote
application and it needs to registry using ServiceProviderRegistryClient.
but Bugzilla sample looks to be using altogether a different approach where
registry need not to be running.
Please let me know if it is optional to use registry and what are the
guidelines whether one should be using the registry or not.
