[kepler-dev] Some experience about build kepler under Eclipse

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi Qiao Huijie,
The Kepler repository was recently restructured and the Eclipse
build has had various problems.  I believe these problems have been
fixed, but I have not tried build Kepler under Eclipse myself.

PtII does not build diva with SVG because Ptolemy II does not use the
SVG libraries.  Adding SVG to diva would mean that Ptolemy II had a
dependency on SVG even though Ptolemy II does not use Diva.

SVG is a bit of a memory hog, I can't open as many models during testing
if they use SVG.
