[kepler-dev] Creating kar file

[Aaron Schultz]

Hi Guru,

Chad is correct, it is currently broken in the HEAD release.  Due mainly 
to ongoing upgrades and experimentation with the new LSID system which 
KAR exporting depends on.

It is likely that the new KAR 2.0 version will not support bundling 
class files or jars inside of KAR files, to do that the Kepler module 
system should be used.  It may be reintroduced in later KAR versions.
