            Bug ID: 55258
           Summary: Drop "New" icon from toolbar
           Product: JMeter
           Version: 2.9
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Main
          Assignee: issues@jmeter.apache.org
          Reporter: sebb@apache.org

As already mentioned on the developer mailing list, the "New" icon performs
exactly the same function as the "Close" icon.

In other applications, "New" creates a new item or document, but JMeter only
supports a single test tree, so the "New" icon is a bit misleading.

Given that "Close" has the same effect, there's little point in having the
"New" icon taking up space on the toolbar.

Dropping the icon would not reduce functionality, but of course it would need
to be clearly documented in the release notes.

I agree we should keep the new icon but I think we should remove the Close
icon. I think the new icon is probably more used/understandable/seemingly
useful vs. the Close button and it seems pointless having an icon/screen real
estate/code for the same functionality.

I don't agree, the New button must remain on toolbar. For beginner user, it's a
usual action (like Paint or Notepad applications on Windows with their New
menu).
