A change from eclipse 2.1 to 3.0 is that the entries in message.properties files
are now sorted by class. This is good during a first time translation. This is
bad for adding some new Strings to an allready existing messag.properties file.
In this case is it much better to append the new entries at the end of the file.
May be it is a good idea to provide a preference for the sort order in
message.properties files

Externalization tool is owned by JDT UI.
Moving to JDT UI for comment.

Dani, now up to you.

However, we put lots of effort into the sorting so I opt to not change this again.
