Tom,
if you need to make your own model instead of taking advantage of the numerous
nights, which we sunk into the printed models for the book by selecting,
clipping, extracting, prettying up of the models, here are some tips on what
Scott Nicklous and I did to reverse engineer the entire framework.   Admittedly,
I have been using different forms of Rose reverse engineering since 1995, so we
might unconsciously have stayd clear of some of its rough edges.  Let me list a
few possible reasons why it could have worked for us and not for you:

- We always took a selection of classes of interest, a group interacting, a
component or package, preferably not more than 6 to 12 classes at one time.
This is primarily to avoid unreadable diagrams, but it might also have helped to
circumvent scalability problems, in case there would be any.
- We used the class files and not the java source code.
- We set the classpath correctly for javac and then called rose.exe from the
command line.
- We did not include the the inner classes (Outer$Inner.class) in the selection
(see Daniel's response).  The inner class then still shows up in the model, but
none of its fields or methods.
- We happened to use Rose-Java version 4.5.8054a.

Let me know how this works for you,
