Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-15348:
---------------------------------------------

Do I understand it right that we can make it work *without* copying ~10 classes by showing the dialog directly ?

i.e. we simply provide a hyperlink action that gets called if there is just one option ?

Then that works like I would expect - ctrl+click or F3 would show the user this dialog (it should by the way show the path/name of the file not just "File does not exist") and then create the file.

Maybe if the file has a well known suffix (.js, .css, .html) have a checkbox that says something like

[ ] Use <xyz> wizard to create the file

assuming we can tell wizards generically what filename they should initially be created with.

> When Ctrl+clicking on app.js in this snippet:
> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/app.js"></script>
> And the file js/app.js does not exist eclipse just "blinks".
> Better if we could offer creating the file, even just a blank/empty one.
> The same goes for image and css references, all those would be nice not having to go through the full ctrl+N wizard to just create such files.
