[kepler-dev] KAR files + private classes

[Chad Berkley]

Hi Michal,

I've confirmed that this is a bug.  I've entered a bug report here:
http://bugzilla.ecoinformatics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3921

Feel free to add any other notes you think are pertinent.  I'll try to
take a look at this further later today though it may take us some time
to figure out a fix.  It's also possible that we will be significantly
redesigning the KAR system in the not too distant future so we'll be
sure to address this then.

Thanks,
chad
