These menu items were removed during work for  https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9009 https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9009

The issue was initialization of some core underlying libraries during the convenience action. Unfortunately, after lots of investigation, the root causes were never discovered and the only solution was to remove the actions entirely, or, leave them in and allow some users to have broken projects or workspaces throwing errors everywhere.

The decision was made to remove them. 

The "workaround", or, the new way to do it, is to simply use the .jar archive feature, and build out the structure you wish to see. 

The convenience actions really were not as useful as we would have liked to begin with. Project archives is, typically, used for non WTP-style projects. Because of this, we really have no way at all to predict how the users project is structured. We did some simple guess-and-verify work, but it was often wrong. Users often found the guesses counterproductive, as they then had to go remove invalid filesets, and add in new ones themselves. Combining this with the initialization errors in JBIDE-9009, and it was not a difficult decision to remove the conveineice actions.
