[kepler-dev] kepler actor documentation

[Nandita Mangal]

Hi Ilkay,
Regarding missing ImageReader javadocs...for some reason javadoc package 
ptolemy.actor.lib seems to miss some files in that package.
It happened before witth TimedPlotter,XYPlotter, as Dan pointed out. 
Adding individual packages such as ptolemy.actor.lib.gui/image
solves the problem.I am updating build.xml to add the specific image 
folder....and now it shows up.

Let me know if any other actors have missing docs as well....

thanks,
nandita.
