Re: [wtp-dev] NewJavaClassWizardPage

I think that extensibility from the base wizards should be driven through added pages, instead of extensions or additions to exising pages. Adding to existing pages will not scale indefinately, and we risk convoluting our UI from others that might share our views of simplicity and ease of use (all jokes about our effectiveness in executing those views are welcome via bugzilla ... ;) .

 

That said, I think the wizards are already extensible through the WTP Wizard Framework.

Since this is an internal class, I'll let the owner of that 
class/compoent speak/decide for themselves, but I recommend at least 1) we don't 
give the impression its meant to be API (it currently has no class comments, so 
some should be added, as in its "experimental, substantial change" super class), 
2) if it should be extensible in future (probably not in same way), it would be 
best to open a post 1.0 feature request to do so correctly and interested 
parties could track that bugzilla, and 3), as far as I'm concerned, fields 
should always be private, and use protected setters/getters.

In order to address the bugzilla 
item

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=92007

We need 
to make NewJavaClassWizardPage that helps select modules 
extensible (i.e. 
promote some fields and methods to be protected).  Are 
there any issues 
with that?
