9 but essentially the plugin registration to override the
10 formatProcessor is processed in the alphabetical order of the plugin
11 names, so the org.eclipse plugin would clobber the com.android.eclipse
12 plugin. To work around this, the specific registration code was moved
13 out to a separate plugin, but the formatter itself continues to live
14 in ADT.
