Description Darin Swanson CLA 2002-05-16 11:00:20 EDT 
Positioning the External tools action at the top of the Run menu is not the 
best choice, in my opinion.

For us to fix this, I believe org.eclipse.ui.externaltools should define the 
set of separators that other action sets can make use of. This would make the 
menu layout consistent no matter which of the "debug" plugins are active.
If this is considered a good idea, we can coordinate on which groups/separators 
will need to be created.
Comment 1 Darin Swanson CLA 2002-05-16 11:02:13 EDT 
I would be more than will to code this up and present the patch for the 
org.eclipse.ui.externaltools plugin.xml
Comment 2 Darin Swanson CLA 2002-05-16 12:57:53 EDT 
Attached is the plugin.xml for org.eclipse.ui.externaltools that has an altered 
menu declaration for the "org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.ExternalToolsSet".  It 
allows for positioning of the External tools action contribution and consistent 
layout of the "Run" menu.

Comment 4 Nick Edgar CLA 2002-05-16 15:52:36 EDT 
I'm surprised by the ordering, since we order them by plugin id, and 
org.eclipse.debug.ui comes before org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.
It may have to do with the order in which they are added.
Simon, could you take a look at Darin's proposed changes.
Comment 5 Simon Arsenault CLA 2002-05-17 15:08:36 EDT 
Waiting for more feedback before processing with the group change. There is 
still discussion going on that if the external tools are used a lot, then they 
should be towards the top.
Comment 6 Darin Wright CLA 2002-11-15 10:12:08 EST 
Nothing planned for 2.1
Comment 7 Darin Swanson CLA 2003-03-28 11:22:52 EST 
No longer an issue as the external tools entry is at the bottom as indicated 
by the ordering of Nick's comment #4.
Closing.
Comment 8 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:24:47 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
