Eclipse Source Menu disappears immediately after startup

I have a new clean install of eclipse (CodeReady 12.17.0) and upon startup in a new workspace, the 'Source' menu appears for a second, see screen shot below.

On Startup showing Source menu

But within a second the Source menu is gone and even after creating a project it does not return...

No Source Menu even after creating project

Even after customizing the perspective to make the Source menu Visible, the Source menu items are greyed with an XML source file open.

enter image description here

How can I fix this?

The Source menu only applies to Java source files and is not shown when other file types are being edited.

I think it appears briefly during startup as it is part of the default set of menus for the perspective. It is then hidden when it is determined that no Java source file is being edited.
