Would you consider a patch which adds a commands (and menu) to the "Hello RCP" template? This would make my life in writing my Eclipse RCP Tutorial http://www.vogella.de/articles/RichClientPlatform/article.html (and the life of new Eclipse learner) much easier as the learner could skip the repetitive creation of commands and menus. My preference could be a simple command and menu entry which open a dialog which says "Hello RCP". If you indicate that you would consider such a patch, I would provide it.
Lars, The Hello RCP serves as a minimalistic template. A better way is to create a template for your tutorial by extending PDE's extension point and distribute it as a plugin
One way to do this with keeping the "minimalistic template" aspect would be to create a default menu like: File: Close, Save, Exit Edit: Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete Window: Reset Perspective Help: Help Contents, Search, About Such a menu is created for pretty much every RCP application, so it would make sense to have it even in the most basic template.
@Prakash would you consider a minimal "Hello RCP Command" template? @Ralf: If you feel that you want to full featured template can you please open another bug? This bug is for having a minimal command exmaple.
With Eclipse 4, I don't think we need better Eclipse 3.x templates. Closing as invalid.
