How to create a file with different extension using org.eclipse.ui.wizards.newresource.BasicNewFileResourceWizard

Question

Is there a way to create a file with specific extension. Currently im creating a html kind file. Is there a way to give specific extension to the file while creating? Maybe .css or .js etc?

<extension
        point="org.eclipse.ui.newWizards">
        <category id="com.ui.category" name="XXX Project">
        </category>

        <wizard
        category="com.ui.category"
        id="ui.wizard.NewFileWizard"
        name="Create a new File"
        icon="icons/new_project.png"
        class="org.eclipse.ui.wizards.newresource.BasicNewFileResourceWizard"
        project="true"
        >

        </wizard>
    </extension>

Answer 1

You will have to create your own wizard to do this, extending BasicNewFileResourceWizard

The minimum code would be something like this:

public class FileExtNewFileWizard extends BasicNewFileResourceWizard
{
  public FileExtNewFileWizard()
  {
    super();
  }


  @Override
  public void addPages()
  {
    super.addPages();

    // Get the page created by `super.addPages` and set the default file extension
    WizardNewFileCreationPage page = (WizardNewFileCreationPage)getPage("newFilePage1");

    page.setFileExtension("css");
  }
}
