org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse feature is a good choice, I will add JDT dialog to 
it if there are no objections.  
In case of menu I prefer the second choice - Help > "Open Recorder..."

Subject: Re: [swtbot-dev] SWT Recorder & Generator functions

Hi all, 

FYI, we just merged recently a change proposed by Rastislav which allows users 
of the Recorder/Generator to plug alternative (and more powerful dialogs) to 
replace the default one provided by the recorder. Here is the related bug and 
change: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=416326 
https://git.eclipse.org/r/16031 
The goal is to keep default dialog very generic and with as few dependencies as 
possible to ensure Generator framework and default dialog can work in any 
SWTBot use-case (without a workbench for example). I guess Rastislav will soon 
contribute a more powerful dialog (from a new plugin) which interacts with JDT 
and other Eclipse IDE functionalities to enhance productivity. 

I think such a new dialog should be part of the org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse 
feature, which provides the extensions for IDE (such as the Launch 
Configuration), and we could decide of a menu where to insert an entry to open 
the recorder. I've been thinking of either: 
* Window > "Open Recorder..." (above Preferences), or 
* Help > "Open Recorder..." (above Eclipse Marketplace) as this is the location 
where JBoss Tools did plug its "Report Problem" entry. 

WDYT?
