[kepler-dev] Release Candidate 5

[Derik Barseghian]

Thanks David.

Here are my testing results, mostly everything is fine. Unfortunately  
I did stumble across one bug that we should probably fix for 2.0:
http://bugzilla.ecoinformatics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5051

os X:
-installed ok
-module manager restart to kepler-2.0.0 ok
-all workflows not in "supported" dirs (and didn't test matlab demo)  
work ok
-search for and instantiate remote dataset ok
-save workflow as xml ok
-save workflow as kar, semantically annotate and it shows up in tree ok
-open saved kar ok

XP:
-installed ok
-start from desktop or start menu icon ok
-module manager restart to kepler-2.0.0 ok
-all workflows not in "unsupported" dirs (and didn't test matlab demo)  
work ok
-search for and instantiate remote dataset ok
-save new workflow as xml ok
-save workflow as kar, semantically annotate and it shows up in tree ok
-open saved kar ok

linux:
-installed ok
-module manager restart to kepler-2.0.0 ok
-all workflows not in "unsupported" dirs work (and didn't test matlab  
demo) ok - EXCEPT:
ENM/test-workflows/ASC2RAWTest.xml crashed Kepler for me twice, but  
the vast majority of times I ran it (I tried it a bunch) worked fine.  
I don't think we should devote time to taking any action on this --  
seems like an unlikely occurrence for a workflow that's not commonly  
used.
- search for and instantiate remote dataset ok
- save new workflow as xml ok
- save workflow as kar, semantically annotate and it shows up in tree ok
- open saved kar ok
