Hi all,
While comparing NetBeans and Eclipse, I realized that Eclipse
context menu on Project Explorer isn't much contextual, so that it
looks polluted by irrelevant items. There are some entries that are
present that don't make any sense according to the selection. For
example:
* On any resource, I can find a "New > Project" context menu. it
doesn't in the context of a resource
* On a Java class, I can find a "New -> Package" context menu, it
doesn't make sense in the context of a class.
* On any resource, I can find the "Import..." menu, which doesn't
seem to have anything to do with the selected resource.
* On any resource, I can find the "Export..." menu, which seems to
only make sense for projects.
What would you think about cleaning this up? For sure it would break
some workflows for a few users who got used to these menus, but it
will really benefit to people who never click them (I guess most of
current Eclipse IDE users, and all new users).
Is it just a matter of refining the "visibleWhen" _expression_?
Cheers,
