This is not a SoftLanding support forum, you should email these questions 
to SoftLanding in the future.

Personally, I would not recommend anyone use WDSC Lite until a future 
version where IBM integrates into their installer.  The current install is 
just too much of a hack for my tastes, and frankly I do not think it is 
that much "Lighter" at runtime than a full install.  Eclipse is generally 
intelligent enough to defer loading plugins until they are needed, so all 
of the stuff you are not using doesn't really load anyway.  Although there 
is certainly some extra overhead involved in the full version.

TurnOver runs fine in WDSC Lite.  The way the Lite installer works is that 
it figures out the plugins that are needed and copies them over the Lite 
install folder.  It must have missed some of the TurnOver plugins. 
Reinstalling TurnOver will not do anything as there is no way for it to 
install anything into the Lite version. 

What I would recommend, and this is what I did, is find the WDSC Lite 
install folder on your hard drive. 

Go into the plugins folder and delete all of the com.softlanding.* 
folders.

Then go back up a level and create a folder named links. 

Then go to the main WDSC 6 folder, navigate into its eclipse/links folder 
and copy all of the com.softlanding.*.link files to the other links 
folder.  This will properly install all of the TurnOver plugins and also 
the RSE Extensions into WDSC Lite.
