How does one add to the File->New menu?

[Jeff Johnston]

I have a project conversion wizard that I wish to put in the File -> New
list.  I looked at the Managedbuilder UI plugin and found some code that
appeared to be used to add the Convert to C/C++ wizard but I can't get
it to work for my wizard.  I have the following:

<extension
       point="org.eclipse.ui.newWizards">
       <wizard
             category="org.eclipse.cdt.ui.newCWizards"
 
class="org.eclipse.linuxtools.internal.cdt.autotools.ui.wizards.ConvertToAutotoolsProjectWizard"
             finalPerspective="org.eclipse.cdt.ui.CPerspective"
             hasPages="true"
             icon="icons/ac16/convert_normal.gif"
 
id="org.eclipse.linuxtools.cdt.autotools.ui.wizards.conversionWizard"
             name="%ConvertWizard.name">
          <description>
             %ConvertWizard.description
          </description>
          <selection class="org.eclipse.core.resources.IProject"/>
       </wizard>
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.navigatorContent">
      <commonWizard
            associatedExtensionId="org.eclipse.cdt.ui.navigator.content"
            menuGroupId="org.eclipse.cdt.ui.newProject"
            type="new"
 
wizardId="org.eclipse.linuxtools.cdt.autotools.ui.wizards.conversionWizard">
                 <enablement>
                  <and>
                    <adapt type="org.eclipse.core.resources.IProject" />
                                <not>
                            <adapt type="org.eclipse.core.resources.IProject" >
                               <test
                                     property="org.eclipse.core.resources.projectNature"
                 
value="org.eclipse.linuxtools.cdt.autotools.core.autotoolsNatureV2"/>
                            </adapt>
                                </not>
                  </and>
          </enablement>
       </commonWizard>
   </extension>
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.viewer">
      <viewerContentBinding
viewerId="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.ProjectExplorer">
         <includes>
            <contentExtension
pattern="org.eclipse.linuxtools.cdt.autotools.ui.wizards.*"/>
         </includes>
      </viewerContentBinding>
   </extension>

I'm not sure what the contentExtension should be for the
navigator.viewer extension but I have tried a class pattern as well as a
Wizard id pattern and neither worked.  The wizard shows up fine under C/C++.

Is there some other piece I am missing or is what I am trying to do
simply not supported?

Jeff,

to add an entry in the File > New menu, you need to add a
"newWizardShortcut" to the C/C++ perspective
(via a "perspectiveExtension").

Also, you will only see that shortcut take effect when the perspective is first instantiated (in a new workspace) or when it is "reset."  In case you're like me and you tend to use the same run-time workspace for testing day after day.
