Improvement Properties-Editor

I've lately worked a lot with property files and what always bothered me was that there was no Outline-View shown for it like it is e.g. for the Java-Files. Typically properties-File e.g. for translations are structured in a hierarchical way e.g. my files look like this:

ListView_FirstName=First Name
ListView_LastName=Last Name

DetailComposite_Title=Title
DetailComposite_Name=Name

Which means we could group the items in the outline a bit by using the _ as a group indicator which makes the editor and outline look like this: I've uploaded the Eclipse Plugin to EclipseLabs and you can install it by pointing your Eclipse Plug-in Installer to http://outlined-property-editor.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/updatesite/.
