Viacheslav Kabanovich commented on JBIDE-21464:
-----------------------------------------------

'Delete' is one of most common actions in Eclipse, and in many views (Package Explorer, Project Explorer, Servers) it is presented in context menu with 'Delete' without dots and without specifying what is to be deleted, but with confirmation dialog. The confirmation is quite specific about the object to be deleted. Selection on which context menu is opened has an identifying icon and label. There may be pro and contra if one word 'Delete' for the menu item name is bettter or worse than a more specific name (one pro - it is easier to find in the long menu by the habitual look, the other - a specific name will make a user to stop and think if this action is actually has more to it than standard Delete if developers went as far as to give it a different name), but it is the standard of Eclipse.
Now, Delete is bound to the global menu, and if we can customize name in context menu, we cannot do it with the global menu name.

I have found one example - 'Delete Log' in 'Error Log' view in context menu of an error message. This action deletes the entire log, not one message on which it is called, so that is a valid example of justified specific name, and what is notable is that 'Delete Log' is _not_ bound to the global 'Delete'.

> Currently OpenShift tree items in OpenShift Explorer view have "Delete" context menu item. Previously it was more natural, because we had "Delete connection(s)..." "Delete domain..." etc., not it is all "Delete".
> If just plain "Delete" is considered as a good way to go, at least there should be three dots as suffix, because after click on the context menu Delete there is required user confirmation of deletion. So it should be at least "Delete...".
