[kepler-dev] From <kar> to <kar:kar>

[Jing Tao]

hi, devs:

I just got a task today - enable the kar xml validation during the remote 
component search.

I palyed around and found that we should put namespace definition on kar 
xml instance in order to enable the validation.

Currently, the kar xml generated by kepler looks like:
<kar>
  <karFileName> </karFileName>
  <karFileSize> </karFileSize>
  <mainAttributes> </mainAttributes>
  <karEntry> </karEntry>
</kar>

I propose to change to:

<kar:kar xmlns:kar="http://www.kepler-project.org/kar">
  <karFileName> </karFileName>
  <karFileSize> </karFileSize>
  <mainAttributes> </mainAttributes>
  <karEntry> </karEntry>
</kar:kar>

After making above change and twist some other java code, the component 
search with kar xml validation works.

I am not sure if the change from <kar> to <kar:kar> will cause any other 
break in kepler. Just want to double check and let everyone know my 
change. If you do see any issue, please let me know.

Thanks,

Jing
