Subject: [WDSCI-L] I broke RDi - Cannot start it
I was attempting to open a large XML file in the eclipse XML perspective.
Eclipse/RDi froze and I closed the app.
Now RDi will not start.
Tried doing the -Clean start; as admin; and still not getting it.
I get a window 'An error has occurred. See the log file C:\Users\ ....
Etc .
The .log file shows the following....
