weird Create New File/Folder action

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.
