[kepler-dev] Adding Case to Kepler

[Zhijie Guan]

Hi, Mohana,

I think in step a), you should create that Case folder under $KEPLER/ 
src/actors/. For the Case.xml, I don't see any problem with it. But  
you may want to refer to $KEPLER/src/actors/StringCompare/ on how  
people write xml and Manifest files for StringCompare actor, which  
also comes from Ptolemy.

But I am not sure if you can get that Case actor after you do this. I  
am not familiar with the procedure of adding ptolemy actors into  
Kepler. The Case actor may be a little bit different since it is an  
composite actor. Actually I am not sure if a composite actor could be  
added into the Kepler actor hierarchy.

But if what you need is only the Case actor, you may want to try this  
workaround. In Kepler Vergil interface, click menu Tools->Instantiate  
Component; In the dialog box, input the name of your actor (like  
"ptolemy.actor.lib.hoc.Case") into the "Class name" text box and  
click OK. The Case actor should appear in your canvas.
