[kepler-users] {Filename?} Suggest changes in kepler startup script

[Dan Higgins]

Lisong,
    Thank you very much for the suggested changes. The scripts are 
generated using ant in order build the classpath which get changed as 
jars are added/deleted. I will dig into the script and incorporate your 
suggestions.
