[kepler-users] Query regarding JDK requirement

[hriyer at ncsu.edu]

Hi,

I am using Windows. No, eclipse gives me a lot of errors. I have not yet
run the program because of the compilation errors that I am getting
because of the unidentified packages. However kepler starts from the
cygwin bash when i give an ant run.

Thanks,
Harini
