[kepler-dev] Actor in Java using new Classes

[Ivens]

Matt, Michal or anybody,

I created a module and started to code my Actor folowing "How to build a
Hello-World Actor" Tutorial.
After that, I run kepler from Eclipse and instantiated my Actor. Everything
was ok!

And then, I exported my Actor as a .kar file.
This .kar file was really small (3Kbytes)...

I put the new libs I use in /lib (and not inside /lib/exe)

When I import the .kar file, nothing happens....

What is wrong?

Thanks!
