[kepler-dev] Building kepler & ptII in Eclipse

Hi Dan,

The change that went in recently was for PTIDES, a real-time distributed
system with DE Semantics.  While it might someday be of interest
to Kepler, it probably is not of interest today. 

I think the error in the build was:
 [javac]
 /var/kepler/kepler-nightly-build/ptII/build/src/ptolemy/domains/ptides/kernel/DDEThread4Ptides.java:13:
 package ptolemy.domains.dde.kernel does not exist
    [javac] import ptolemy.domains.dde.kernel.DDEDirector;
    [javac]                                   ^ [javac]

would it be better to exclude ptolemy/domains/ptides/** and continue
to exclude ptolemy/domains/dde/**?

Also, ptolemy/domains/ptides is sure to have lots of activity and
might be unstable.

As part of the nightly build, we need a way to test the Eclipse build.
I don't have any clear idea how this can be done, but other people
must be invoking Eclipse from a nightly build.

    Hi All,
        I made some changes to the ant build file yesterday that may impact 
    the Eclipse build. Since I don't use eclipse, someone who does may want 
    to check out these changes.
    
    1) I removed these exclude statements from build-ptolemy.xml
    <!--          <exclude name="ptolemy/domains/dde/**"/>
              <exclude 
    name="ptolemy/domains/dde/kernel/test/DDEDirector.tcl/**"/>
              <exclude name="ptolemy/domains/dde/kernel/test/test.tcl/**"/>
              <exclude name="ptolemy/domains/dde/kernel/DEThreadActor.java/**"/
   >
              <exclude name="ptolemy/domains/de/kernel/DEEDirector.java/**"/>
              <exclude name="ptolemy/domains/de/kernel/DETheadActor.java/**"/>
    -->
    in order to get the head of Ptolemy CVS to compile (under ant)
    
    2) I also removed the exclude for the python actors
    
    <!--          <exclude name="ptolemy/actor/lib/python/**"/>         -->
