I was getting on well with the evaluation and had almost decided to buy the pro version until I tried to use it with a framework that consists of a large class hierarchy. Instant reverse worked fine and everything was great until I tried to save it…
Further investigation indicates it ran out of memory during the save- after allocating aver 500MB of virtual memory. Here is the bit from the log file:
saveGenericShapeInstance(…)v.qrd@129d744
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
I can save small models - upto this point I had played with upto about 50 classes.
As a further bit of information there is obviously an exception thrown at startup too :

While I could increase the maximum memory allowed and also the physical memory on the PC that is not really an answer - VP-UML should not need to allocate massive amounts of memory to save the state that it is already maintaining!
Any solutions??
