------- Comment #4 from leinfelder at nceas.ucsb.edu  2009-11-18 08:59 -------
The Configuration that was being retrieved ended up being null so the
openModel() call failed with the NPE. I used a more direct method for
retrieving a Configuration instance and that seems to work fine.

NB: I'm a litte worried about how there are GUI classes being invoked inside
the KAREntryHandler. Especially since we are trying to use the handlers in both
gui and non-gui contexts.
I think we are mostly dodging the bullet with KeplerConfigurationApplication in
that it extracts the MOML and opens/runs it using it's own gui-less way while
other pieces of the KAR are cached by their respective handlers so that they
are available during wrapup().
