Fedora Packager for Eclipse is an Eclipse plug-in which can be thought of
as a GUI for Fedora packaging. Commands are available via the context
menu. With the number of features increasing it is becoming more and more
difficult to come up with a proper design of the context menu. As of now,
the total number of items so far is 12 with 3-6 more in the queue. We
would appreciate help for coming up with a better design/structure.
Perhaps a context menu isn't the right approach, feel free to go wild. We
are open for new and innovative suggestions.
Here is a mock-up of existing functionality including the context menu:

What are our current challenges?
* Figure out a way to structure the context menu with 20+ items
* Have a select set of commands directly accessible, others might be
hidden behind an "advanced" element
* Perhaps grouping of menu items could make sense 1. Koji. 2. General. 3.
RPM related commands
Thanks for your help! Let me know if you have questions.
