Bug 22551 Hierarchy pane missing "New..." menu item in context menu [type hierarchy]
(R2.0) I can almost use Eclipse like a Smalltalk Class Hierarchy browser. This is one of two problems. My custom perspective has a Packages pane, a Hierarchy pane (which includes methods of course) and a code editor pane. I cannot create a new class that is a subclass of the selected class in the Hierarchy pane. Note that I can do this in the "Types" pane from the context menu. The workaround is to use the Packages context menu, but this does NOT pick up the superclass that I have selected in the Hierarchy pane.

fMethodViewerPaneLabel= new CLabel(fMethodViewerViewForm, SWT.NONE);
		fMethodViewerViewForm.setTopLeft(fMethodViewerPaneLabel);
				
		ToolBar methodViewerToolBar= new ToolBar(fMethodViewerViewForm, SWT.FLAT | SWT.WRAP);
		fMethodViewerViewForm.setTopCenter(methodViewerToolBar);
		
		
		fNoHierarchyShownLabel= new Label(fPagebook, SWT.TOP + SWT.LEFT + SWT.WRAP);
		fNoHierarchyShownLabel.setText(TypeHierarchyMessages.getString("TypeHierarchyViewPart.empty")); 	
		
		MenuManager menu= new MenuManager();
		menu.add(fFocusOnTypeAction);
		fNoHierarchyShownLabel.setMenu(menu.createContextMenu(fNoHierarchyShownLabel));
		
		fPagebook.showPage(fNoHierarchyShownLabel);
		int orientation;
		try {
			orientation= fDialogSettings.getInt(DIALOGSTORE_VIEWORIENTATION);
			if (orientation < 0 || orientation > 2) {
				orientation= VIEW_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL;
			}
		} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
			orientation= VIEW_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL;
		}
		
		fCurrentOrientation= -1;
		
		setOrientation(orientation);
