Description John Arthorne CLA 2001-11-30 12:39:57 EST 
When exporting classes to a JAR file, the progress message says things like:

"Exporting org.eclipse.foo.MyFile.java"

This is misleading, because it looks like it's adding .java files to the zip, 
but it's actually adding class files.  I actually canceled the export and went 
to check the jar file when I saw these messages.  I suggest just trimming the 
.java suffix:

"Exporting org.eclipse.foo.MyFile"

Interesting, we are trying to make the JAR packager source based, that is the 
user specifies the Java files and not the generated class files. This is good 
for defining what to export but misleading during the export itself. We should 
change the progress messages

Yep. This must be changed.
