[SOLVED]add own top level new wizard entry to package explorers "New " context menu [message #649883]

Hi,

I am currently struggling to get an entry for my new wizard into the context menu of the package explorer. The wizard is displayed if selecting New -> Other inside the Java Perspective, but I would like to have it top level like "new Interface or new Class". In the project explorer it is displayed top level already. So I am a bit puzzled why not in the Package Explorer.

Can somebody give me a hint how I can do this?

Many thanks in advance,
Lars

Perspectives control the shortcuts for wizards and views. You can use
org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions extension to add your wizard to new.

Hi Paul,

thanks for your answer.

I already did that and the wizard is shown when selecting the
"New -> Other" item. But I'd rather like it to be "New -> MyWizard" directly instead of using the "Other" item.

You added a perspective extension to contribute the shortcut to the Java
perspective? Then reset the perspective if you already had that
perspective open.

Paul,

you saved my day Wink

Thank you very much. Resetting the perspective finally did the trick. Thats a bit odd though but at least it works now.

Many thanks,
Lars
