Error description

• Environment:
  
   - Product name (Build ID or version/patch level): IBM Rational
  Business Developer v7.1.0.3
  Reproducible Y/N: Y
  
  Description of problem:
  
  
  Occasionally RBD will hang when saving an EGL file.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1) Open an EGL file in Parts reference
  2) On the parts reference, double-click on  a function
  3) Add a space on a comment line and save the file
  4) Repeat 3 few times: RBD should hang
  
  Workaround:
  
  
  1) Open the Preferences dialog (Window -? Preferences)
  
  2) Expand the EGL preferences
  
  3) Select Editor
  
  4) Deselect the last check box in the Editor Preferences (Annota
  te errors as you type)
  
  5) Press OK to save the preference change
  
  
  
  This will bypass the Working Copy Compiler step that is causing
  the hang.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The problem was caused by 2 processes that formed a
  deadlock. One process had the WCC.lock but needed to invoke
  a synchronized method in the WCC. The other process was
  already in one of the synchronized methods of the WCC, but
  needed the WCC.lock.
  

Problem conclusion

• I have change the processing, so that the lock is released
  and the other process is allowed to complete
