------- Comment #1 from cxh at eecs.berkeley.edu  2009-03-18 12:02 -------
I updated the Build System instructions and the Eclipse instructions
to include running "ant clean-cache".  This seems much better than
trying to describe how to remove ~/.kepler.

Also, at one point I did see a message on stdout about removing ~/.kepler,
so some error checking is happening.  To close this bug, the follow
acceptance criteria should be met:
1) Run Kepler 1.0, verify that the actors are present.
2) Install Kepler from the developement tree, verify that the actors are
present.
3) Do step 1 again.
If there is an error with step 2, then a dialog should be displayed that
suggests running "ant clean-cache", or, ideally, clicking on a button that
would clean the cache and restart Kepler.
