Hello people Smile

I'm trying to create a plugin that will Hide existing wizard entries from File > New wizards and re-populate it with my custom built wizards.

I've searched on Google and came accross the below method snippet...
AbstractExtensionWizardRegistry wizardRegistry = (AbstractExtensionWizardRegistry)PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getNewWizardRegistry();
IWizardCategory[] categories = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getNewWizardRegistry().getRootCategory().getCategories();
for(IWizardDescriptor wizard : getAllWizards(categories)){
    if(wizard.getCategory().getId().matches("org.eclipse.ui.Basic")){
        WorkbenchWizardElement wizardElement = (WorkbenchWizardElement) wizard;
        wizardRegistry.removeExtension(wizardElement.getConfigurationElement().getDeclaringExtension(), new Object[]{wizardElement});
    }
}

...but I really don't know where I should be using it within the project's Activator.java class.

Can anyone point out what should I be doing

I'm OK with creating new project/file wizard plugins but I'm having trouble hiding the already existing wizards as I mentioned earlier.
