Nice!

I'm no expert either, but maybe [1] can be extended to hold a 'Next' and 
'Finish' button in stead of the existing 'New' button. People who only 
need an empty file can click the 'Finish' button directly, people who 
want the class designer can click the 'Next' button which shows a new 
window where they can input different things depending on the type of 
file they chose. (class, interface, enum...)

I'm working with Eclipse PDT nowadays and that's sort of what they do 
which works nicely.
