[kepler-dev] EML200DataSource Problems

[Rod Spears]

I have found a bug in the EML200DataSource, but that is a separate bug 
from the ports not updating, it's a bug JIng told me about.

It's my belief that it is a Ptolemy issue that the ports don't update. 
Also, I sent an email on this while back and didn't get a satisfactory 
answer. When I change the iconDescription attribute to a different SVG 
icon description it does not get updated on the screen until I move the 
icon.

In my local build I changed the RecordResult to initially have "busy" 
icon (as was suggested) and then when the ports are configured it 
changes itself to the icon we all know and love. But I'll say it again, 
the icon does not update unless I click on it and move it.

Does anyone have any ideas on why this is?
