Build Identifier: M20090211-1700

When a Progress monitor and a SubProgress monitor is used, the default separator character that is used between these display strings is a colon.  This is not appropriate for certain languages and should be localized.

eg: Copying 1 of 3 files... : Mydoc.txt 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Import org.eclipse.core.runtime.IProgressMonitor;
    Import org.eclipse.core.runtime.SubProgressMonitor;

2.  monitor.setTaskName( "Task" );

3.  subMonitor.subTask( "SubTask" );

4.  The progress displayed is "Task : SubTask", where the colon is used as a separator.

This was one of the reasons for deprecating SubProgressMonitor. The replacement, SubMonitor, does not concatenate strings in any way and makes it the responsibility  of the caller to supply appropriately-translated strings to all of its methods.
