It is possible to add some custom wizards, directly to the "File"->"New" menu, and the "New" context menu when right clicking in project explorer/navigator.

For this, you need to do:

1) For the "File"->"New" menu, you need to add the wizard in the perspective, and then reset it, so changes will apply ( in case you've previously opened the perspective )


    @Override
    public void createInitialLayout(IPageLayout layout)
    {
        layout.addNewWizardShortcut( "org.eclipse.ui.wizards.new.file" ); //$NON-NLS-1$
    }

And you replace the string with the wizard id.

2) For the context menu, you need to add a new item in the "org.eclipse.ui.navigator.navigatorContent". A new commonWizard item type:

<commonWizard
            type="new"
            wizardId="my wizard id">
         <enablement></enablement>
      </commonWizard>

You could set some enablements but that's the general idea.
