[kepler-dev] Help with Pop Up Box in Kepler

[subhav mital]

Hi Matt and Derik,
Thanks for your comments.

Creating two different suites was just a personal preference. However, I
still don't solve the basic problem of instantiating previously  created
actors without errors even if I use a single suite. A simple ant run does
not solve the problem. To get the actor, I have to execute ant change-to.

Existing actors in Kepler, can be dragged and dropped but not newly created
ones.


Copied below is the stack trace which I get when I drag and drop the actor
without executing ant change-to and directly opening Kepler by executing ant
run from command line. (Using Version 1.0)

Am I missing something?

Thanks!
