Re: [pde-ui-dev] Adding to File-> New Sub Menu

Two ways to do this:
1. If you have defined your own perspective, you can add programmatically
add these new wizard shortcuts.  Look at the class
org.eclipse.pde.internal.ui.PDEPerspective for an example.
2. You could add these new wizard shortcuts to existing perspectives (e.g
the Java perspective, Resource perspective, etc.) via your plugin.xml using
the org.eclipse.ui.perpectiveExtensions extension point.
      PDE provides samples on how to use this extension point.  It is
available as one of the sample plug-ins in the New plug-in project wizard,
or as a sample extension that could be created on the Extensions tab of the
manifest editor.

Is it possible to add a new Wizard directly to the File->New sub menu?  I
see where there is already defined some predefined categories such as
?Examples? (org.eclipse.ui.Examples)  well as ?Project?, ?Other?, etc.   We
are using Eclipse as a single-purpose product platform and would like to
have our main New Wizard dialog be more prominent rather than having it
under ?other? or ?project?.  I am a little concerned that a new user who is
not a developer or not familiar with eclipse will not think to search
through all the sub-categories.

Is there some way to add this as a wizard, or as an action item on the menu
bar?

Thanks,
