Maven usability study (finding #22): 

Wizards often not found

Several participants missed the "New Entity from Database" wizard and started coding the functionality by hand by creating "New session Bean". This is because a user can not know whether there is a specific wizard, so they start with the first generic wizard which approximately matches what they want. 

For them, it would make sense to integrate the option to generate entity from database into the "New session Bean" wizzard.

The same probably applies to other very specific wizards we have in the IDE. 

(filing this to keep track of this issue and to consider in wizard redesigns in the future)
