Module contains several actions such as Generate DTD that could be used from several entry points. This particular case could be accessed from the <New> action and as XML context action. The same idea could apply to other actions: - SAX Wizard - DOM Scanner Generator - DTD2Schema converter - XSLT with scenario - XML2Schema converter - etc. The question is: Do we have to move selected context actions into <New> action? It typically means that we provide a wizard that will gather a context from a user. It makes perfect sense to me because it follows better user task flow. Particular task: A user want to create new DTD. Unfortunatelly he does not know all context module features so he probably miss that module can generate it for him from XML instance. He goes into <new> and get empty DTD. I can imagine that you could disagree claiming that it pollutes the <New> action. Your complain can be invalidated by wizard approach (such approach used for new XML document spared several standalone templates). Second thing that need to be investigated is that some actions should have several entry points under <New>. Take SAX wizard action as an example. It could be present under: <New>/Java/XML/SAX Document Handler <New>/XML/Java/SAX Document Handler Generally Java/XML could be linked to XML/Java.
Need to to be reviewed by human interface engineering expert.
