Description Peter Hayes CLA 2007-02-27 14:06:47 EST 
After using Spring IDE and Maven2 eclipse plugins, I find it inefficient that each has its own menu item in the right-click project menu to enable / disable their respective natures.  Would it be possible to standardize a UI location for plugins that add natures to hook into so that these menu items are not proliferated on this (and possible others) menu?

A suggestion would be on the project properties dialog to add a "Natures" tree item which would allow the user to enable / disable any contributed nature.  I find this to be an appealing location as enabling natures is not generally accessed often and having it on the right-click menu clutters the UI experience with seldom used selections.

I apologize in advance if this is found to be a redundant request.
