[kepler-users] Kepler Web Service "Footprint"

[Jianwu Wang]

Hi James,

     The zip file generated by 'ant package' command include the java 
source code. That is why it is very big. To run Kepler Web service, we 
only need jar files, not the source codes.

     I suppose you want to update the jars for Kepler Web service after 
you update your actors. You can add a new ant target to compile new java 
codes and copy the jars to webservice/KeplerWebService/lib/kepler/.

Best wishes

Sincerely yours

I'm asking for suggestions where I can prune extra items, or at least make this process easier to use with CVS. I'm currently archiving a zipped version of webservice directory in CVS.  So here's what I'm doing so far:
