[kepler-dev] renaming Loader and test installers

Hi,

I think we've talked about this before, but I think we need to re-name 
org.kepler.core.loader.Loader to something like 
org.kepler.core.loader.Kepler.  The problem I'm currently seeing is that 
when we execute Kepler on the mac, the class name shows up in the menu 
bar as the application that is being run.  I haven't found anyway around 
that, so I think it would look better to have 
org.kepler.core.loader.Kepler (or even, maybe take it out of the 
package, if that's possible, so that it's just 'Kepler' or maybe 
'org.kepler.Kepler').

What do you think?

Also, I've uploaded an installer for Windows and an installer for OSX to 
http://dist.kepler-project.org/dist/Kepler-1.0Dev  Please give them a 
try and let me know if you find any problems.  They both include R in 
the installation.  If you already have R, just uncheck the R 
installation.  Note that I have not figured a non-hackish way to alter 
the path to put R on the path (Ben, is there a way we can do this so R 
doesn't have to be on the path?), so if you do install R and want the R 
workflows to work,  you'll need to add R/bin to your path manually.  I'm 
hoping to figure that one out soon.  If you come across what you think 
is a bug, please try the same operation running Kepler from your local 
SVN directory first.  If the bug happens in the installed version and 
the SVN version, it is not an installer bug.  If you do find something 
that does work in SVN but not in the installed version, please create a 
new bug for it and make the bug block on bug 3949 so I can track them 
easier.

Thanks!

chad
