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....
