Description Andreas Sewe CLA 2015-04-20 09:12:23 EDT 
"Calculate Uses" produces an unsorted list of uses constraints:

  Export-Package: org.eclipse.recommenders.jdt;
    uses:="org.eclipse.jdt.core,
     com.google.common.base,
     org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom,
     com.google.common.collect"

This makes it harder than necessary to spot what APIs are used, in particular in a textual diff (e.g., in Gerrit). It would be great if "Calculate Uses" could sort the packages:

  Export-Package: org.eclipse.recommenders.jdt;
    uses:="com.google.common.base,
     com.google.common.collect,
     org.eclipse.jdt.core,
     org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom"
