We offer multiple ways to create new Properties to the Sirius specifier and as such, it won't be efficient to toy with the default behavior of the Sirius menu builder and their properties (see org.eclipse.sirius.edit/plugin.properties).

Everything related to the Properties should be in Properties-related plugins and it should start with a dedicated menu builder to create the Properties View.

We should have the following three entry points to create a new Properties View:

* Create a "almost" blank Properties View
* Import a copy of the default Properties View in the odesign
* Create a new Properties View extending the default Properties View (because people won't be able to find the URI of our default rules)

It does not make sense to accumulate those entry points in the "New" menu used for the viewpoint and palette. See the screenshots to have a look at what the result would look like.

Later, all the properties-related entries in org.eclipse.sirius.edit/plugin.properties should be removed and handled directly by a properties-specific bundle. Those entries will have to evolve with the changes of our meta-model, we will use this opportunity to move them.
