That explains why I couldn't see what they were talking about. I'm on 5.1.2.1 version. Ron Power Programmer Information Services City Of St. John's, NL P.O.

I thought 5.1.0 was the same and that only 5.0 installed multiple icons? The EXE's themselves are just simple launchers, I believe it is the parm passed to the EXE that really controls it, although perhaps in the absence of the parm, the defaults change? The parm is -feature com.ibm.wdsclient. This tells Eclipse the "branding" feature. I am not sure why the WDSC plugins wouldn't still be available, but you are correct that the default perspective is part of the branding and will change. As for the workspace, you normally get an initial dialog that lets you choose your workspace. The defaults will be different, but you should be able to select the same one. That being said, if the WDSC plugins really are not available, you would get errors if you tried to use the same workspace. I keep all of my workspaces under C:\worskspaces. With 5.1.2, I do not have a second icon. If I launch the other EXE directly, I get the alternate branding, however, I can still open and use the RSE perspective. That is how I recall it working on previous versions as well.
