controling newWizard menu positioning [message #305054] Thu, 22 June 2006 12:36 Go to next message

I am extending an existing perspective and am adding additional new
project wizards to that perspective. I notice that the new project
wizards I add show up at the end of the projects category of the
File->New menu. This is not too surprising, however since this is a
product we are packaging and deploying I would like to control the
ordering of the new project wizards in the File->New menu.

Is there any way of doing this short of creating a new perspective? The
perspective I am extending is the CDT C/C++ perspective and is quite
large and intertwined with other perspectives we are using so I would
like to extend rather than copy the perspective if at all possible.


Best Regards,
Jeff

FYI...
So far, the only way I have found to control newWizard menu positioning
when extending the perspective is to define an activity to strip out the
old newWizard actions and then re-add them back into the perspective in
the desired order using new action ID's.

This is a less than desirable solution because its going to be a PITA to
maintain and it won't work for newWizards that are declared as Primary
since they aren' blocked by activity filters. Plus, if the activity is
ever re-enabled by the user then its really gonna look stupid because
there will be two menu's for each action. But, until I find a better way
it's still better than copying the original perspective.
