Probably too late to do anything, I know, but... I was going through the usability test and one thing that may be really frustrating for the users is something that should be pretty simple: creating the text file. I assume that I'll want to create the text file in the same directory as WordLibrary. But the New submenu on org.toys.lib only shows Java classes, not other templates. The New submenu on the Sources node is also empty. (It should probably be removed.) So that leaves the New File/Folder command. I open it and select the text template and click next, and I have to specify where to put it. I get This Computer, then I have to remember the path back to my anagrams src directory and drill all the way down through the package directory structure. Could we do any of the following: Enable the Text template in the New submenu for packages? Enable the Text template in the New submenu for Sources or remove the submenu? Have the location page of the New File/Folder wizard start in the project home directory? I know there's no guarantee that's where the source root is, but it's as good a guess as any. BTW - I noticed that if you create the file/folder outside of the project's source roots, it opens in the Source Editor but does not get added to the project.
