IBM Rational XDE was a software development environment that combined programming and visual modeling tools. A CLX file stores data used by the Rational XDE environment, such as information belonging to a development or modeling project.
The format is intended for use with the associated Rational XDE or Rational Rose Developer for Java software rather than as a general-purpose document format. Rational XDE is legacy software, so compatible installations may be difficult to obtain on current operating systems.
Open a CLX file with IBM Rational Rose Developer for Java (Multiplatform), or with another compatible Rational XDE installation. The file may not open correctly in unrelated applications or in modern software without the original environment.
If the file opens in a compatible Rational XDE installation, use that software's available export or save options to move its contents into a supported format.
