[kepler-dev] Running Kepler from Eclipse...No actors on right pane

[Chad Berkley]

Hey David and Christopher,

Could one of you enter a bug for this and target it at 2.0.0?  I think  
maybe after 1.0 we could just converge on one startup class and maybe  
make it extendable so other modules can change it if they need to. I  
agree that the name of the class should be Kepler. I'm writing this  
kinda off the top of my head but we can flush it out more in the bug.

Thanks
Chad
