Using NetBeans to read XML files on a mac.
Hi.
I'm 2 days into using a MacBook Air. I've got NetBeans 7.1 RC2 installed. I think the OS X 10.7.2.
When I try to read a 3.6MB XML file, I find that the MacBook has a fan - it gets that busy and essentially hangs.
5 minutes later, I kill it (I had to ask how to do that).
So. How do I read XML files on a Mac. I want to be able to query them and work with them.
What tools are available?
Did I say I was only 2 days into the mac!
Regards
Richard.

There's a very good article here explaining the fan/heating issue on the MacBook Air.
