Hi group,
I'm developing an RCP application that works with an editor input that comes
from a database and not a file.
I'm having trouble with getting the "NEW" menu item and toolbar button to
appear.
Here are the things that I have done which I thought were right:
1. Declare an extension to "org.eclipse.ui.newWizards" in plugin.xml
2. Implement the wizard classes defined in 1.
3. Call "menu.add(new GroupMarker(IWorkbenchActionConstants.NEW_EXT));" in a
WorkbenchAdvisor.
4. In the perspective code call
"layout.addNewWizardShortcut("dexter.wizards.SampleNewWizard "); " so that
the wizard gets added to the new list.
But so far I do not see the "new" menu item nor the toolbar button.
What am I missing here? Am I supposed to code this in manually?
Any help will be greatly appreciated since I have been pulling my hair out
on this one for the last couple of days.
Thank you in advance.
- Andy

Thanks for your reply Michael,
I actually have found my answer while looking through the source of the IDE
itself.
What I was missing was not just the new menu item (which will display the
generic "Other..." under new) but the following code:
String newText = Messages.getString("menu.New");
String newId = ActionFactory.NEW.getId();
MenuManager newMenu = new MenuManager(newText, newId);
newMenu.add(new Separator(newId));
this.newWizardMenu = new NewWizardMenu(getWindow());
newMenu.add(this.newWizardMenu);
newMenu.add(new Separator(IWorkbenchActionConstants.MB_ADDITIONS));
menu.add(newMenu);
Basically, eclipse doesn't provide this functionality automatically as I
thought it would, but you have to implement your own "New" submenu. What it
does provide is however, is NewWizardMenu which I was missing.
If anybody runs into the same problem, the code for all this is in:
org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.WorkbenchActionBuilder
