Eclipse IDE: Add/change default filetypes?

Question

When I create a new file in Eclipse, there's a wide selection of different alternatives appearing in Eclipse.

However I am missing a couple of file which I need to open the "file create wizard" to create - JS files included.

How can I add my own file types as a default choice to appear in the "new files" menu?

I have Luna on Windows 8.1 and it's Window -> Customize Perspective also. – Pratique

"Eclipse's toolbar" is ambiguous. Currently, "Mars", you have to right-click on the "Perspective toolbar"... or you can go Window menu --> Perspective --> Customize perspective – Hypoderma

Answer 2

Yes, from the Eclipse's toolbar, right click > Customize perspective... > Menu Visibility > File > New > check and uncheck file types.

This way is less clicking than Industrial's answer, since you see all the options in one long list. – Depalma
