Sort build path when adding dependency via gui.

[gsru...@gmail.com]

We have a newly added coding standard in our organization that asks the we sort the build path in our bnd files by package name. It seems sensical that when adding an dependency via the GUI that dependencies could be alphabetized at that time. I have glanced at the BndTools source and nothing is jumping out at me as the place in the code to as to where that kind of logic would be added. Can anyone point me at the right file?

There is no way to sort the jars on the buildpath by package names
they contain. It seems not even possible since package names can vary
quite significantly across the jars.

Since the buildpath is a linear path supplied to the compiler and the
Bnd builder, the order of the jars can be of significance when
packages are duplicated and some simple sorting for the buildpath
entries may provide undesirable results.
