[kepler-users] [kepler-dev] Help with Pop Up Box in Kepler

Hi Subhav,

I just checked and see the two bugs related to our below discussion  
are still open.
http://bugzilla.ecoinformatics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3930
http://bugzilla.ecoinformatics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3943

Before I look into these to see if the problems still occur, let me  
ask: Is your current desire the same, to create and use two actors  
with Kepler-1.0? Since we have made many bug fixes and improvements to  
the development version of Kepler since we last spoke, if you don't  
need to user kepler-1.0 it might make sense for you to instead try  
working with our pre-alpha1-branch of Kepler. Setting up this branch  
requires the same assumptions be fulfilled as listed on the website  
for building the latest development version (https://kepler-project.org/developers/teams/build/documentation/build-system-instructions 
#assumptions), but to build the branch you instead use these commands:

svn co https://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler/branches/release-2.0.0-pre-alpha1-branch/modules/build-area 
  build-area
cd build-area
ant clean-cache
ant change-to -Dsuite=wrp -Dbranch=https://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler/branches/release-2.0.0-pre-alpha1-branch
ant update-ptolemy -Drev=54826
ant run
