Current behaviour

Current behaviour:

- right-click somewhere in Package Explorer
- then choosing first entry "New"
- Eclipse offers me a bunch of options, some of them I have never even heard of and I will probably never use them in my lifetime
- I need to click "other"
- I need to filter or click through gazillions of more options for finding something simple like "Class" or "Interface" or "Source Folder".


Expected behaviour:

- Eclipse remembers which types of files / artifacts I do like to create and offers me exactly these in the "preferred positions" in the prescribed context menu.
- I am faster at work and way happier.

For information, you can use `Ctrl + N`  keybinding to open directly the "New" wizard. 

You can use filter directly to find what option you want (class, interface, enum, file, ...). Then when you call again `Ctrl + N` the last selected option will be directly selected.
