RE: [platform-ui-dev] Window menu

[Greg_Adams@xxxxxxx]

Hi Randy,

See Dan Kehn's note regarding problems with you Tools menu proposal. It is unlikely this would recieve a +1 due to its pitfalls in an environment like eclipse.

With respect to renaming options (I see simon provided you a pointer) - I presume you are indicating that as a user you will want to be able to change a menu label  as opposed to plugins or product teams.
        - is this correct
        - can you elaborate on what menu operation you were renaming previously and why - it is interesting
        to learn the use case

Thanks for you input.
/Greg

I think that Window -> Preferences should be changed so that it is like the
following applications:
1) Websphere Homepage Builder 3.5
2) Corel Office Suite
3) Star Office Suite
4) Microsoft Office Suite
5) Microsoft Visual Studio
6) Internet Explorer

All of these applications have a Tools menu, under which "Options" can be
found.  Some of the Perspective actions probably belong here too.


Additionally, as the user, I should be able to rename the label,
[accelerator], and mnemonic used for both "Tools" and "Options", as well as
any other menu or action on the workbench menu bar.  This is a much needed
feature.  For more than a year I have been doing this manually in Leapfrog
by disecting its jars and manually changing the .properties and .xml files.
I've only upgraded Leapfrog twice, so I did this a total of 3 times.  But
it was a pain each time since I didn't know of the newer build was
compatible with the older message files.
