Hi Chris,

thanks for your offer to contribute. The first thing you should do is file
an enhancement request against JDT UI. The development team will then
discuss in there whether they think it's a good idea and whether they would
want to put this into Eclipse. Only then I would start to work on it.

Dear Community,

I'd like to contribute to Eclipse with a new refactoring action
available in IntelliJ and called "Missorted modifiers":
"This inspection reports on declarations whose modifiers are not in
the canonical preferred order (as stated in the Java Language
Specification).
Use the checkbox below to specify that annotations should always be
sorted before keyword modifiers."

I've already had a look at these articles:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-ast/
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/article.php?file=Article-Unleashing-the-Power-of-Refactoring/index.html

http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-LTK/ltk.html

But could anyone give me a hint with a sample source code or some
files to look at in the Eclipse source repository?

Thanks,
Chris
