We simply "gave up" on fixing duplicate mnemonics. 

Nick what is the strategy you use in the workbench. The problem we have in JDT 
is that we can it in one place we have a conflict in another menu. And IMO it 
is more important to keep mnemonics consistent than unique.

This is one of those generally unsolvable problems.
I think it's important to avoid duplicates, even if that means some 
inconsistency (e.g. between context menus and pulldown menus, or context menus 
in different views).
If you can't avoid duplicates for all items in a particular menu, then you 
should at least try to avoid duplicates within a particular mode (e.g. file 
selected vs. project selected).

But this requires duplicated the strings in the properties file. I am in favour 
to live with the duplicate mnemonics.

Some of them got addressed:

- Go Into and Implementors do not show up together anymore
- Refactor got &t

It is not possible to avoid all clashes so I opt to keep it as it is (max 2 
with the same mnemonics)
