[kepler-users] How To Build Kepler under Eclipse Instructions

[Chad Berkley]

Sorry about that.  All of these demos used to run until we changed the 
repository around and changed the build system.  It's a major priority 
to get everything back to normal, but it might take a while to work out 
the kinks.  I fully agree with you that it's frustrating to go to the 
demos directory and have a demo not work.  I'll add a bug to get all of 
the demos working again so we don't forget about this.
