[kepler-dev] Dynamically created actor not shown in library but can be seen with Search button ....

[Shawn Bowers]

As a first approximation on how to do this (at least, you can see an
example of how I am doing this currently from within Kepler), you should
look at the org/kepler/ksw/gui/SaveInLibraryDialog.java class.

Hope that helps. Also, Chad Berkley might be able to more specifically
help you, as he is the one who wrote the ActorMetadata code, etc.
