Description Andreas Goetz

I need to implement a new project wizard, very similiar to the default IDE one implemented in BasicNewProjectResourceWizard. The only addition I'm really looking for is to add my custom project nature to the new project. 
However, javadoc says that BasicNewProjectResourceWizard is not intended to be subclassed, however it appears as if that shouldn't be a problem.
Wouldn't it make sense to make some of the IDE features easier to extend and possibly decouple them from the IDE core?

Any chance to look into this for 3.4?

This is not currently a priority for us but if you subit a patch I would ne happy to look at it.

Would love to. Just don't understand the internals well enough :( Subclassed it just fine but have no idea why I actually shouldn't. Still think that many of the IDE specifics should be revisited in light of RCP usage...

Any chance of revisiting this for 3.5?

a generic project wizard

I propose this patch.
I create a general-purpose project wizard. (the name is not perfect and must be surely changed).
I also refactor the BasicNewProjectResourceWizard to make it extend this new class.

Why the BasicNewResourceWizard is "@noextend" ?

No plans to include this for 3.7. Will target for 3.8

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. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. 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.
