I apologize for reposting, but I haven't gotten a response, and I'm 
hoping it just didn't get noticed by the IBM crew.

This may just be a coincidence, but I recently installed the newest 
Softlanding Plugins for Rational.  I am on the latest fixpack.  I 
started noticing after this that my source menu was gone for every new

RPGLE(really the only one I have tested) member I create.  On programs

that already existed, the source menu is there. However even when it 
is there, I cannot do a prompt on a source line.

I have uninstalled the turnover plugins, and have created a new 
workspace, but I'm still having these issues.  Rational is basically 
unusable at this point.  Short of uninstalling is there anything I can

try?

There is a known problem that seems to effect everyone that if you 
install/update any plugins, including the ones from IBM, it somehow
breaks 
the WDSC config.  The main area this seems to show up is in the iSeries 
editors, which lose their color coding and pretty much all other 
iSeries-specific features.

Fortunately there is a fairly simple workaround:

1)  Navigate to this folder (adjusting path names as necessary):

C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\SDP\6.0\eclipse\configuration

2)  Delete these two folders:

org.eclipse.osgi
org.eclipse.update

3)  Restart WDSC which will recreate the two folders and fix the
problem.

Since this problem happens after every install/update you should
reinstall 
anything you have uninstalled prior to doing this, otherwise you will
just 
have to do it again.
