[kepler-dev] Getting rid of CreateModulesBundle

[Chad Berkley]

I'd like to get away from including kepler-tasks.jar in several 
different locations.  Maybe build-area should just become a normal 
module so other modules can use kepler-tasks.jar since it has become 
critical to the execution of kepler.  Or the build could put 
kepler-tasks.jar into common/lib/jar so that all modules could use it 
there.  I'm trying to clean up the jar mess right now, so it'd be good 
if we worked to remove our own redundancies.
