[kepler-dev] Using the latest revision of Ptolemy gives problem

[Benjamin Leinfelder]

A few weeks ago I made some modifications to the classpath.default  
file to use RXTX. I'd check that you have incorporated those classpath  
changes in your .classpath. The other errors were also addressed with  
that change.
