[kepler-users] FSMs and Modal Models

[Jianwu Wang]

Sorry, I forgot to attach the kar file I made.

Also one correction to my email: 'After the above steps, you also need 
to remove ~/.kepler directory and restart Kepler to make the created kar 
files to be effective. '

Best wishes

Sincerely yours
