[kepler-dev] new project

[tkd]

Hi,

thanks a lot for your response, Matt. The appendix A contents 
effectively more information as the tutorial on the webpage : 
https://kepler-project.org/developers/teams/build/developing-a-hello-world-actor-using-the-kepler-build-system-and-eclipse.

But, I'm very surprised that even this documention shows a manual 
process for building the KAR files, excepting the parts concerning the 
manifest & moml files.
Moreover, I noticed that in the gui the right-click and the "export KAR 
files" option generate automatically the actor.xml & manifest.MF files.
Hence a function does exist to do this. Can you tell me which it is please ?


About our project, we are many developpers working on a new extension 
around Kepler for bioinformatics and we need something more flexible in 
integrating new actors and in using new actors for non computer 
scientists users. So, please, suggest me a better way to get kar files 
and introduce them automatically in the gui, without manual intervention 
from the user or the developper.


More generally, I have some comments about the helloworld tutorial:

- ant change-to -Dsuite=daks-base
    this duplicates all the directories with the extension dir_17390 !
    this is not proper, in my point of view
- ant change-to -Dsuite=hello-world
    this launches the hello-world execution with the module daks-base.
    and, in fact, this is not useful : with ptII it is enough and there 
are no error ...
    In fact, I made something more simplier : I just had the name of the 
module hello-world in modules.txt, next : ant eclipse, and it works !


thanks in advance,

tkd
