Hello all,
 
According to this tutorial  \
https://www.logicbig.com/tutorials/core-java-tutorial/modules/service-provider-method.html
 we can declare in module-info provider class with "provider" method. For example,
 
 ......
public class TheServiceProvider {
   public static AService provider() {
       return new AServiceImpl();
   }
}
 
The only thing what I don’t understand is why this method is called "provider". The \
method doesn’t return provider, method returns an instance of the service, so, as I \
understand, the method must be named "provide". And, as I understand, provider is \
usually the class, that has "provide" method.  
Of course that’s not very important, but it is JDK, so it was developed by very \
experienced java developer who should know java naming convention and I want to \
understand why this did so. Could anyone explain?
