Steps : 1. Check out studio's UML module sources 2. create a j2se project "with existing sources" 3. Add "uml/src" directory to the j2se project 4. create a new RE project and supply the j2se project as java project 5. Select the src folder and do finish in RE wizard. It takes around 40 minutes for the RE process to complete. 6. Save all and exit the IDE 7. Try bringing up the IDE. The splash sceen is displayed and the progress bar comes with message "Starting Modules...". I have been waiting for more than 4 hours and the IDE does not come up.
The problem is that UML takes a long time to read the XML file. Since we will only be loading a binary B Tree file. This problem will be solved.
This project (REd uml/core sources)just can't be open at all as .etd file of it is an invalid xml file. If java file contains illegal XML characters, like for example uml/core/src/org/netbeans/modules/uml/core/metamodel/core/constructs/IClass.java containing code 0x8, then the serialized XML file of the Reverse Engineered project is invalid XML file. The fix is going to remove the illegal characters from the String value before setting it to the XML DOM node. With the fix in the project is opened in under 1.5 minutes, so i remove the PERFORMANCE keyword.
Fixed in coco and release55 (coke/entpack) branches.
