Description Ed Burnette CLA 2003-10-03 17:54:16 EDT 
In perspective factories, plugins have to reference the New wizards with a 
string that is susceptible to change during API reorganizations. For example, 
in org.eclipse.ui.internal.ResourcePerspective:

// Add "new wizards".
layout.addNewWizardShortcut("org.eclipse.ui.wizards.new.folder");//$NON-NLS-1$
layout.addNewWizardShortcut("org.eclipse.ui.wizards.new.file");//$NON-NLS-1$

There are constants for most view id's, for example IPageLayout.ID_RES_NAV, 
but not for these. This request is to add constants for the new wizard ids in 
the appropriate location. In addition to new.folder and new.file above, you 
also need a constant for new.project. There may be others but those are the 
only ones I found in a search.
Comment 1 Remy Suen CLA 2007-12-15 15:58:24 EST 
This is a pretty simple fix that any new contributor could resolve. Where would these constants go though? Would it make sense for them to be in the wizard class themselves like BasicNewFolderResourceWizard.WIZARD_ID?
Comment 2 Remy Suen CLA 2008-02-07 15:54:12 EST 
Tod, can you comment on an appropriate class for the constants to live in per comment 1?
Comment 3 Tod Creasey CLA 2008-02-07 17:00:03 EST 
Remy that sounds like the right place.
