In an Eclipse RCP application, I want to keep the externalized strings of a Plugin in a separate Fragment.

I can create a new resource bundle in the fragment. But when I try to update an existing resource bundle, an error is written to the Error Log and new strings are not added to Messages class and properties file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a Plugin Project, for example with name and id set to "my.plugin". 
Set "Rich client application" to Yes and choose "Hello RCP" as template to get some classes generated. All other settings should be left on default values.

2. Create a Fragment Project, for example with name and id set to "my.plugin.nl1".
Enter "my.plugin" as Host Plugin. All other settings should be left on default values.

3. In the fragment project, create the Java Package "my.plugin" (the same package that has been generated for the plugin).

4. Create a local String variable in a Java class of the Plugin, for example in the method createInitialLayout() of the Perspective class.

5. Call "Externalize Strings..."
At "Accessor Class", modify the source folder of the properties file to "my.plugin.nl1/src"

=> The messages.properties, containing the externalized String is created (as expected, everything ok).

6. Create a second local String variable in the Perspective class.

7. Call "Externalize Strings..." again.
At "Accessor Class", modify the source folder of the properties file to "my.plugin.nl1/src" again.

=> Now, an InvocationTargetException is written to the Error Log and the second string has not been added.
