Software Analyzer - changing sub-menu

When you select 'Software Analyzer' first time, you have two options: 'Software Analyzer Configurations..', 'New Configurations'... The design makes you believe that first option allows you to select the existing configurations, and the second - to create new, whereas this is not true. This is request to modify sub-menu to say something like 'List of existing configurations', 'Create new configuration'. Then under 'List of existing configuraions' you can list those in a new sub-menu.

    We feel that delivery of this requirement within the RFE 2 year window is not likely. The Software Analysis feature was designed to be consistent with other launch configuration features such as Run and Debug, which has led us to the current style of usage. Additionally, the Software Analysis feature is shared among several other IBM tools and we value the consistency of the current style of usage among these separate products.
