When adding the "filetype plugin on" to my .vimrc file, my ftplugin file is indeed loaded when I edit *.adb files (Ada). But it seems other stuff does not work in that case. I use vim 6.3.82. So I made the following test: with no local filetype.vim file and no file in .vim/ftplugin directory, I added the line "filetype plugin on" to my ..vimrc file. Then the "Ctrl+]" shortcut which usually search my tagfile does not work any more. Instead, it echos in the command-line ":call JumpToTad_ada('')", whereas without the new line in .vimrc it would return a list of choices for the keyword under the cursor.
In the end, adding that simple line to my .vimrc file seems to break the default configuration from $VIMRUNTIME directory, even though no particular file lies in my local $RUNTIMEPATH. Any idea explaining that strange behaviour?

"indent" in the above is optional for filetype plugin activation; and if you source the vimrc_example vim (for instance by source $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim near the top of your vimrc), the above ":filetype" command is included.
