[kepler-dev] new eclipse build problems

[Derik Barseghian]

Hi David,

vanilla-trunk in Eclipse launches for me now too. I have the menus  
problem Ben mentions, and also the Components tree doesn't have any  
actors in it. These problems occur both from eclipse and command line.

There are two other pages that describe setting up kepler with eclipse  
in different ways:
http://www.kepler-project.org/Wiki.jsp?page=UsingEclipseForKeplerDevelopment
https://dev.kepler-project.org/developers/reference/kepler-and-eclipse

As a stopgap for confusion, I've put a link to your new instructions  
at the top of the first. Unfortunately I can't edit the second.
