Tweaking the build for usability tests

Hi team,

I am sending various items that should be fixed in the usability testing 
build, IMO.

* The current New Wizard, invoked from contextual "New File/Folder..." 
menu of a project node, lists strange set of templates containing 
templates and folders like "nb-java-nature", "All Templates" and 
"Profile Types". I suggest to remove these folders and rename and 
reorder templates hierarchy this way:

[ ] Templates
  |
  +--[ ] Folder
  +--[ ] Java Package
  +--[ ] Java Classes
  |   |
  |   +-- [ ] Emply Java File
  |   +-- [ ] Java Class
  |   +-- [ ] Java Main Class
  |   +-- [ ] Java Exception
  |   +-- [ ] Java Interface
  |   +-- [ ] JApplet
  |   +-- [ ] Applet
  |
  +--[ ] Ant Build Scripts
  +--[ ] Other

* We should remove Filesystems View from the build and do not show 
Property Sheet by default. The property sheet is very ugly and 
complicates the first time experience.

* Probably move combobox with a build configuration at the beginning of 
the build toolbar. So the order of components is: Config combo, Build 
Active Project, Rebuild Active Project, Next Error, Run Active Project

* Please reorder the View menu this way:

| View |
------------------
Projects
Runtime
Properties
Source Editor
Output Window
Debugger Window
Execution View
Web Browser
----separator-----
Workspaces
------------------

* "Debug Project" menu item should be renamed to "Debug Active Project". 
I expect that it works with the active project.

* Add current object into quotation marks in the context sensitive 
build/rebuild main menu item, e.g. Build "HelloWorld"

* The IDE doesn't start up with the Projects tab selected. If a test 
participants are asked to start the IDE, this should be fixed.

Thank you,
Jano
