I made an RSS robot and wanted to publish it. After File -> Publish a dialog appears and says:
1. Contacting Openkapow
and then, after a while
2. The Community Server at openkapow did not respond correctly. Would you like to retry?
After a few retries I wanted to Report an error. But RoboMaker failed again. So now I'm doing it here:
Error from Community Server when publishing a robot to openkapow.
Exception message:

... 2 more
Oh, and I have two more questions...
1. Why isn't it possible to publish a robot directly from openkapow.com web page?
2. If one makes an RSS robot using Enterprise version of RoboMaker (with trial license, truth be told) and then opens it with openkapow RoboMaker in order to publish it, one cannot do it because there are missing Publish items in File menu of open RoboMaker. Is this really necessary?
... and one remark:
3. I don't think it's really necessary to install a separate JRE with every Kapow installation. Installers should detect already installed JREs and offer an option of using those.
