Hi All,
    I just checked in the example workflow 
$KEPLER/demos/Python/PythonDialogExample.xml

    This workflow uses the PythonScript actor to dynamically create 
dialog for Kepler user input (simple text input and a choice box). It 
uses jython's capability of scripting Java swing widgets. I think this 
is a useful example that shows users how they could create new GUI I/O 
dialogs that execute when a workflow is running. This would also allow 
users to examine/modify parameters during execution.

    One specific example in the workflow is a choicebox for user input. 
This has been requested by several Kepler users.

     Comments/suggestions always appreciated.
