My IBM colleague, Aiden, hit the same problem yesterday: -


and found the solution: -

vi /Applications/IBM/SoftwareDeliveryPlatform/RSA.app/Contents/MacOS/ExecuteScript 

and change from: -

$ECLIPSE_APP -product com.ibm.rational.rsa.product.v95.ide &

to: -

$ECLIPSE_APP -product com.ibm.rational.rsa.product.v95.ide &

Can you say "Doh!" ?? I bet you can ...

Visual Studio Code - Wow 🙀

Why did I not know that I can merely hit [cmd] [p]  to bring up a search box allowing me to search my project e.g. a repo cloned from GitHub...
