dimensions, etc.
This sort of calls out for a wizard and it seems like a subclass of
BasicNewFileResourceWizard would be the way to go. But the documentation
says "This class can be instantiated, but is not intended to be
sub-classed". Why? How should this be done in a blessed way? I hate to
re-invent the wheel by building out a wizard that already exists.
TIA, Ric

Ric,
It sounds like maybe you should be using EMF
<http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/?project=emf>. :-P
If you did, EMF would generate exactly the kind of wizard you'd need to
do what you describe. You should be extending Wizard and reusing the
WizardNewFileCreationPage.
If you follow one of the tutorials, it will generate an example:

The parts that are key, as Ed mentioned, are to extend
org.eclipse.jface.wizard.Wizard and in the addPages() method call
addPage(IWizardPage) for each page you want to create.
This package has a couple of useful base class that you can look at as
examples for your Wizard and WizardPage implementations (note, these are
GPL licensed code):

Hope this helps,
Eric
