HI Jackie,
Agreed. I don't think the Eclipse issue discussed below is directly a
Ptolemy issue. Thanks for checking.
The Ptolemy Eclipse build worked for me over the weekend.
Also, I did a clean Ptolemy Eclipse build on October 9 and updated the
instructions.
We should look at doing another round of folding the Kepler-specific
changes to Ptolemy classes into the Ptolemy tree. We do this
periodically. In the past, we've not been able to merge all the
changes, but at least some of the changes can go in. Does anyone want
to do this?
Creating a CVS branch is a possibility, but it has the same issues
as them having a separate tree in that the code starts to diverge
more and more.
I'd prefer doing a merge over creating a branch.
Ultimately, I think we need a way to check the Eclipse build as part
of the Ptolemy nightly build.
Also, there has been some interesting discussion on the Kepler lists
about the doclet.
Addressing the doclet issues has been on my todo list for sometime.
I'll take a quick look today.

I was not able to reproduce their errors. The reason for their errors is
because Kelper has their own definition for the IOPort, AtomicActor,
CompositeActor, ProcessThread, FiringEvent, EditorDropTarget classes. The
rest of the errors result because they depend on the Ptolemy version of
these classes. I think you can either tell the Kelper folks to make their
version of the classes "forward-compatible", or we can spends some time to
customize and start a CVS branch for them.
