When I try to "Generate Offline Symbol Table" I get the above error.

Based on the status bar it seems to be during the "Custom Labels"... is there any way I could limit this so it will load without an error?

Thanks,

Frank

Hi, Frank. It’s just an IDE configuration option that needs to be increased. In the IDE, use Help | Edit Custom VM Options… which will open a file called idea.exe.vmoptions in an editor.
Add the following to the end of that file:

-Dorg.apache.cxf.stax.maxChildElements=100000

Restart the IDE and try to generate your offline symbol table again. If it fails with the same type of error, you’ll need to increase that value further and try again.
