[kepler-dev] Multiple instances of kepler

[Dan Higgins]

Norbert,
    The problem with multiple instances of Kepler is due to the internal 
database (hsql) used for the cache and keeping track of actors for the 
Kepler  actor list. Running multiple workflows can be done using 
'momlexecute' or 'ptexecute'. (There are some ant targets for these 
methods in the build.xml file.) These methods avoid even setting up the 
database.
    Incidently, I disagree with the 'wontfix' decision that Christopher 
quoted for the bug. I think that I should be able to work with multiple 
simultaneous versions of Kepler.
