[kepler-dev] Kepler on Solaris

[Amanda Waite - SUN ISV-Engineering]

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll concentrate on the core Kepler application 
initially and then look at the actors/workflows in more detail. I'll 
also stick with Java 1.5 although I'm sure that I'll be tempted to try 
to compile under 1.6 :o)

Thanks

Amanda
