Hi Ufuk,
The instructions for adding a menu item for Ptolemy will not work in
Kepler. Kepler has a menu system built on top of the Ptolemy menu
system. To add menu items to Kepler, you will need to edit the
gui/resources/configurations/uiMenuMappings_en_US.xml. This file
defines the mappings between the Ptolemy menu items and the Kepler menu
items. If you enable the menu item in ptolemy, you then need to map it
to a kepler menu item in this file.
You can also map an action directly to a menu item (if it does not exist
in ptolemy) which allows you to create new menu items that do not
already exist in ptolemy. There are many examples of both of these
methods in the config file I mentioned above. Let me know if you have
any questions.
thanks,
chad
