Description jrojcek 2007-12-05 12:20:41 UTC 
Problem description and solution:

Currently the editor contextual menu contains technology-specific submenus, e.g. "EJB Methods", "Enterprise Resources", Web Service Client Resources". 
They make the menu long, cluttered and complex. As they all server the same use case  which is inserting code snippets into the edited source files, they 
should be be merged together into a single "Insert" submenu. See the spec (maybe needs an update):
http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/EditorContextualMenus

Note that even though I'm filing this issue as part of the 6.1 planning, the real intention is to address this issue either in 6.1 or in one of the upcoming 
releases.

If I understand it well, in technical point of view this task is: allow to add items to Alt-Insert popup.
Comment 2 jrojcek 2008-04-25 13:25:01 UTC 
Yes, all "insert" actions should be integrated into the "Insert Code" popup.

In addition to that, we're still considering the "Insert" submenu as a replacement for the existing code generating actions. I'll let you know ASAP what's the 
final proposal.
