Install VP with your platform specific installer,
Download crimson xml lib from http://xml.apache.org/dist/crimson/
unzip it in your VP’s lib dir
edit in the VP’s bin dir the file Visual_Paradigm_for_UML_<YOUR_EDITION>_3.2.lax
add to lax.class.path entry …/lib/crimson-1.1.3/crimson.jar
change the lax.nl.current.vm entry
from (for example) lax.nl.current.vm=/usr/j2sdk1.4.2_03/jre/bin/java
to
lax.nl.current.vm=/usr/jdk1.5.0/jre/bin/java
save, run VP.
This is because Sun dropped Crimson support in jdk1.5.0 for Xerces.
Make a security copy of the file before modifing it !!!
I am not related in any manner with visual-paradigm, so I think they will not support JDK1.5.0. Use at your own risks!
