Eclipse plugin development - How to add Radio buttons in WizardNewFileCreationPage

I am using WizardNewFileCreationPage to create a New File

public void addPages() {
    mainPage = new WizardNewFileCreationPage("FILE", getSelection());
    mainPage.setTitle("New File");
    mainPage.setDescription("Add new file"); 
    addPage(mainPage);
}

I want to add some Radio Buttons to it representing file extensions in this wizard so that users can select one of them as a file extension.

The WizardNewFileCreationPage is not meant to be extended with custom controls. From its JavaDoc:

Subclasses may override

  • getInitialContents
  • getNewFileLabel

Subclasses may extend

  • handleEvent

    • If you still want to add the radio buttons 'at your own risk', you can try to override createAdvancedControls and append you controls to the parent after calling super.

    protected void createAdvancedControls(Composite parent) {
  super.createAdvancedControls( parent );
  Button radioButton = new Button( parent, SWT.RADIO );
  // ...
}

    Note that the layout of parent (currently) is a single-columned GridLayout, set the layout data accordingly.
