Eclipse right click new project preferences

Question

Well, honestly, it is a simple question I can't find on eclipse nor google.

I am a lazy dev and want to add the Maven Projectoption to my [right click]->New->(Maven Project). But can't find an option in the preferences. Every Javaproject I create is a maven project (DM FTW, YEA!)

In PHPStorm I can simply add/edit an entry in a config section and I am done. It gets added to any "New" context.

Can I do something like that in eclipse? Add completely new "New..." entries to create a templated new file type and (the original topic) can I add another menu entry without writing a plugin?

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

open eclipse, then go to Window menu, select Customize perspective...

a windows appears. it has for tabs.

• Tool bar visiblity
• Menu visiblity
• Command Groups Availablity
• Shortcuts

select Menu visiblity tab, it will shows all menus with tree view.

then expand tree view of File then do same for the New which is sub tree of File.

now select All of those project types that you want, then click Ok.

Answer 2

The concept is:

new means creating a bare project begining from zero, adding means import some project that you/other have/has started...

in eclipse import is the menu you need to click to, then maven, then select the proj option the best fits you...
