Description Shaun Skelton CLA 2006-02-14 15:25:30 EST
Eclipse 3.4 Build id: I20060213-0800 (Linuk-GTK)

In the default configuration of eclipse, there is a certain ordering of the possible items to select when you go to File > New. If you then go to Window > Customize Perspective... and click OK (even if you don't change anything), the ordering f the items under File > New will have changed. Should the ordering stay consistent?

I can't reproduce this on Win2K.  Can you provide more specific steps?
Comment 2 Nick Edgar CLA 2006-02-16 11:12:04 EST
Shaun showed me the case using the Plug-in Development perspective.  The item for the Product Configuration wizard was first, but after a no-op customize perspective, it got moved down to the middle.

Reassigning bugs in component areas that are changing ownership.
Comment 4 Paul Webster CLA 2006-09-28 15:17:32 EDT
Is this still a problem in 3.3?

Comment 5 Karice McIntyre CLA 2006-09-28 15:48:28 EDT
yes - in 3.3 M2.  Check the order of items in the Java perspective, then go to Custumize perspective, change nothing and hit OK.  The items are now in a different order.
Comment 6 Remy Suen CLA 2008-07-18 21:52:07 EDT
Paul, I can reproduce this on I20080715-1015.

1. Use -data to point to a non-existent folder.
2. Eclipse starts up with the 'Java' perspective.
3. File > New... > Java Project, New Project... / Package, Class, Interface, Enum, Annotation, Source Folder, Java Working Set, Folder, File, Untitled Text File, JUnit Test Case / Other...
4. Right-click on the toolbar, select 'Customize Perspective...'.
5. Click 'OK' to close the dialog.
6. File > New... > Java Project, New Project... / Package, Class, Interface, Source Folder, Enum, Annotation, Java Working Set, JUnit Test Case, Untitled Text File, Folder, File / Other...

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
