This exercise will guide you through the steps of creating
and using a custom label provider to customize the CARMA view you
created in Exercise 5.
The Label Provider controls how each item in a view is displayed.
It controls the string and icon displayed to identify the item. This
exercise adds text to the CARMA Repository Manager that displays when
CARMA is connected to that RAM. It also changes the icon that is displayed
for COBOL CARMA Members.
