[kepler-dev] KAR files + private classes

[Michal Owsiak]

Hello all,

there is an issue related to exporting actors as KAR files. When actor
class contains private class, actor is not properly exported into KAR
file. This issue does not affect inner classes - these are exported
correctly.

If you try to export as KAR, and then import following actor into
Kepler, exception is thrown (PrivateClass is not visible).

I know that this issue depends on a paradigm of class imports (whether
to use private classes at all), thus I do not say it is a bad thing - it
just happens.

Cheers

Michal
