[kepler-dev] Workflow tests

[Dan Higgins]

Hi All,
    I just noted that 4 matlabExpressionUseCase workflows (1,2,3, and 4) 
have been added to the test-workflows.lst file to be run in the nightly 
build. However, none of these will work for several reasons. First of 
all, we do not have Matlab on the server used for the nightly build. 
Secondly, all 4 workflows have Display actors as outputs. These actors 
open a window and the nightly build does not support any graphic 
displays. All such test workflows should use something like the 
NonstrictTest actor to test results.

    Also, the nightly build now uses the 'MoMLSimpleApplication' class 
to run the test workflows. This class runs workflows without opening any 
graphical displays.  There is an ant target called 'build_momlexecute' 
(Windows) or 'build_momlexecute_sh' (Unix) that builds a script for 
running this class from the command line. This script can be used to 
test workflows to be added to the nightly build.
