Description Joachim Rudolph CLA 2007-06-15 09:34:46 EDT 
After adding a new package to a "jardesc" using the "jar export" tool, the new jardesc file is written in completely unsorted manner (seems like the output of a hashmap). This makes it troublesome to handle the jardesc files in source control systems where you would expect only one changed line.

Proposal : always output jardesc in sorted order so that changes are limited to one inserted line per package
