Thanks for the info. I am using version 1.0 of Kepler. I tried what you said from the menu Tools->Instantiate Component and I got the exception which I'm adding at the end of this email.
So I guess I need to upgrade. Is there a stable version I can use? Should I use the kepler1.0Dev installation? Or some king of nightly build? Where can I find these? So far I've been looking in here: http://dist.kepler-project.org/dist/ Thanks again, Panickos com.microstar.xml.XmlException: XML element "entity" triggers exception. in [external stream] at line 1
