This main program uses no special OT/J syntax, yet it applies some concepts specific to Object Teams:

Team activation

Lines 10-13 instantiate and activate the two pattern applications (OTJLD §5). Similarly lines 52 and 53 clean up by deactivating both team instances.

Team methods

Lines 21ff, 36, 42 and 48 invoke team methods which have declared lifting OTJLD §2.3.2. Note that to clients these methods look like regular Java methods, the as part of the signature is not part of the public API.

If you run this program you will notice how the reactions of the observers varies as they are register with and unregister from the pattern. Also a double open has no further effects.
