Noting beats correctness! I'd say let developers moan for a while,
they'll get used to the classpath ordering.

Besides that: I hardly don't use any kind of explorer in Eclipse any
more. Any project with a non-trivial codebase can be better handled
opening types directly through Ctrl-Shift-T. But that's just my personal
way of working...
