[kepler-dev] Custom actor deployment

[Chad Berkley]

Hi Siva,

Take a look in src/actors for an example of how to do this. 
Essentially, each actor gets a directory with a moml file and a manifest 
within it.  The manifest assigns ids and the moml file decribes your 
actor.  When you run 'ant buildkarlib' ant goes through each of those 
directories and jars (kars) up each actor.  The system then reads the 
kar files that are put in kepler/kar/**.  To get your actor to show up 
in the proper place in the tree, you will need to alter the 
'semanticType' property in the moml file.  If you are creating new 
actors, you will need a new lsid for each actor (which go in the 
entityId property).  There is a readme with the last id number 
available.  If you plan to check these actors into cvs, please update 
the readme.

Let me know if you have any problems.

thanks,
chad
