Description

Installing a fresh release of the Eclipse Java IDE brings the following "new view" menu:

Ant as the first entry (I know `A` goes first, but you could hide this under "others" by now). This (and others) take up space for the other great stuff hidden in the "Others" dialog.

Same for perspectives, this is UI flow I need to perform in order to get a dialog which allows me to go to the Git perspective:

I know I can click on the tiny plus icon too … but still, views are there, perspectives too. So that should be a bit more usable IMHO.

At least there should be a more reasonable choice of perspectives presented.
