 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.
