I didn't manage to even open master.xml (Java 1.4.1 on my old, slow, Linux box) because, as expected, I got several "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError" printed on my xterm. After increasing the maximum amount of memory made available to the Java runtime from 128Mb to 512Mb, as instructed in this FAQ: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/faq.html#outofmemory I had no problem opening master.xml, modifying included modules[1] such as Section-The_Drools_Rule_Engine.xml and then switching back and updating[2] master.xml I would also recommend to systematically use the "Images displayed as thumbnails" CSS style sheet (use the View menu for that -- see http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/viewMenu.html), at least for master.xml, as this spares hundreds of Mb of memory and makes XXE more reactive. --- [1] Shortcut for Edit|Reference|Edit Referencing Document = Ctrl-Shift-E [2] Shortcut for Edit|Reference|Edit Referenced Document = Ctrl-Shift-B. Also has the very useful side-effect of *automatically* *updating* the master document. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/editMenu.html#referenceMenu
