Peter,
I encounter a couple of problems:
1) The editor windows on the right do not have a save or save all button 
anywhere.  I must click on the x on the window tab.  It asks me if I 
want to save the changes and I say yes.  They are available to look at 
and update until I decide to exit the tool.  The save, save as, and save 
all choices under the file drop down menu bar are all grayed and 
disabled.   When is the save choice to be used if everything is 
supposedly saved as you go?
2) When I try to find my method library using the open method library 
selection, it is not there and  I get the IUPL0300E: Unable to open the 
specified method library error. I look in the appropriate method library 
file folders and although the plugin.xmi file is there, the actual 
roles,  tasks,  etc. are not.

Maybe I should just uninstall and then reinstall the entire program. 

Also, the user interface to begin work on a method plug-in is too much 
concerned with the file structure.  The user should be able to pick from 
a list of available method plug-ins.  Why should the user know or care 
about file location at this time?  It merely creates the possibility 
that the user looses the files or gets confused as to what he/she is 
looking for or where.  This seems to be another example of  a 
user-interface that is more oriented towards the tool developer than the 
tool user.
