Description Jeremy CLA 2005-04-18 09:49:10 EDT 
Is there some way we can sort the entries in this file?  It seems everytime the
file is modified it puts the entries in a different ordering.  We currently
store a copy of our .classpath file in CVS, so having some sort of starndard
ordering scehme would help with change management.
Comment 1 Philipe Mulet CLA 2005-04-18 10:36:58 EDT 
Entries on the classpath files are not automatically sorted. First entries take
precedence over subsequent ones; i.e. the ordering affects precedence of type
definitions.

You should rather investigate who is changing the .classpath file. Likely if
someone alters it, it is outside JDT/Core since we only persist it in the order
it got set up.

Please provide steps to recreate, or close this bug if you can find trouble maker.

Close at there's near 2 months without any feedback on this issue
=> consider requierement is no longer needed
Comment 3 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:09:28 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
