Example 2: how to create pom

#1- We initialize the web elements using
          PageFactory.initElements method
          
		- We create connection in between our Driver
          and the object of current class.
           
		- So when we use the object of the class,
          the object is already initialized with all
          the web elements and able to use them.

		PageFactory.initElements(Driver.getDriver(), this);

	- #2 - We use @FindBy annotation to locate web elements.
		@FindBy (xpath = "//something")
		public WebElement exampleBox;
