Hi,

hopefully, this is a quick one: I have written an Editor for a custom file type. it's currently hooked up to the "Code Gestalt" category in the "New" Dialog. Here is the corresponding piece from plugin.xml:

   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.newWizards">
      <category
            id="edu.rwth.hci.codegestalt"
            name="Code Gestalt">
      </category>
      <wizard
            category="edu.rwth.hci.codegestalt"
            class="edu.rwth.hci.codegestalt.wizard.CgtWizard"
            icon="icons/CgtNew16.png"
            id="edu.rwth.hci.codegestalt.wizard.CgtWizard"
            name="Code Gestalt Diagram">
         <description>
            Create a Code Gestalt Diagram.
         </description>
      </wizard>
   </extension>

I'd like to make it visible in the "File->New" submenu (Alt+Shift+N). I tried to add the wizard to org.ecplipse.ui.Basic (the General Category), but that was a dead end.

How must I proceed?

Regards,
Chris

You need to extend "org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions" and provide
the newWizardShortcut

Thanks. I didn't see it first, I had to reset the perspective, now it just works fine.

However, something is a bit strange: When I open "Customize perspective->Shortcuts", I see my Plug-In listed with an empty check box in front of it, but when I click it, the associated file tyoe is not shown on the right as with the other entries. Also the check box cannot be toggled.

Regards,
Chris
