The "Run" menu has a few presentation problems: 1. Run->External Tools->External Tools... Having "External Tools" as both a submenu and an item is confusing/redundant. Having "Run" and "Run as..." in the same menu hierarchy is confusing. 2. The menu is extremely sparse. I am going to guess you are going to say that its because nobody else is extending it. Nevertheless, out of the box the Run menu looks kinda goofy. The entire menu looks like: Run External Tools Run As Ant Build External Tools... So first you have a pulldown menu with only one item. Then you get a menu with two items, the first is named almost the same as the pulldown "Run/Run As", and the second is named the same as the menu you just opened "External Tools". When you open the first sub item "Run As", you get one item again. For added fun, when you go to "External Tools..", one of the items in the dialog list is "Ant" again! We love ant!
Created attachment 3345 [details] The menu fully expanded
note that this menu gets populated with External tool launch history items. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 27450 ***
