build I20030115 When an Eclipse-based product ships with examples (e.g. WSAD), the currently only show up on the Other... new items dialog. We always place the Examples as the last category. In some products, there are just enough extra categories to cause the Examples to get pushed off page, requiring you to scroll the categories to see them. This has shown to be a major issue in the usability studies: people can't find the examples. For 2.1, we should make the following changes: 1. When there are examples installed, an Examples... item appears in the New menu, between the regular items and Other..., with separators around it. The Examples... item is not shown if there are no examples installed. 2. When chosen, this opens the new items dialog, filtered to show only the examples. The dialog title should be "New Example". This is similar to how the New > Project... item works. 3. By definition, all examples show up under the Examples category, so the dialog should flatten the categories one level. E.g. the Readme example creates a new category called "Example Creation Wizards" under the "Examples" category. Rather than showing the following in the categories pane: Examples Example Creation Wizards We could just show: Example Creation Wizards If there are wizards directly in the Examples category (no subcategory), then the Examples category should be shown as a separate item: Examples Example Creation Wizards
