Ok. Sorry for the spammish and huge email (attachments). I've made certain that the .jar is in the CLASSPATH (modified the lax.class.path var in the kepler_alpha6.lax file) and it is definitely coming up. The actors that I'm trying to add are all composite actors from our COSEC/SolarSoft package. I had no trouble doing it in Ptolemy II. The tutorial covers adding an atomic actors, but this did not work for these composite actors. I _HIGHLY_ recommend coming up with a better import/add/unique id system... :-) I've attached the annotations.owl and ontology.owl as I think they should be given our service description file (also attached). I can also send the .jar if you are interested. I'm also trying to get several other packages added.
BTW- I also found out that the intro.htm and welcomeMessage.xml files are used from the .jar file, and not the files that are in the dir tree.
