In the Projects view, there are no filesystem actions on the popup menu of the root project node and on Source Packages, Test, etc. nodes. On all files below there are filesystem actions. This is inconsistent. Please add FS actions there like in Files view. The Project node should perhaps check for any external source roots, because if there are external source roots, FS actions would not work as expected. This is necessary for VCS actions at least till VCS project-aware actions are implemented in some future release.
FS actions for package root nodes should be handled by j2seproject etc. FS action for project root node could also be handled by j2seproject, or could be done generically in ProjectsRootNode.BadgingNode (which is getting overloaded by now and should be renamed, BTW). The former gives more flexibility to project types; the latter enforces more consistency and is easier for project types to implement. Ideally we would actually have a helper method somewhere which would take a "raw" logical view root node and produced a recommend variant of it with badging, a search provider, filesystem actions, standardized context menu, etc. This would make it easy for project types to do things the normal way but still possible to override this UI if necessary.
IMHO this should be consistent for all projects or not be there at all. I don't think the user will understand why VCS actions are available on the project node in one project but not in another. Also, I have a hunch that lots of users will be using external source roots, so that's the one we should maximize for.
Not planned for D.
No definite plans for E. See also issue #43233 for VCS actions on package nodes. This is only about the project node and source root nodes.
I think this is obsolete.
