-----------------------------------
> Component descriptor reference elements are not ordered

> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug

> Reporter: Stephen Flynn
> Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler
> Fix For: maven-scr-plugin-1.4.4

> We use SCR annotations (1.2.0) and the SCR Maven Plug-in (1.4.2) to generate
> DS 1.1 component descriptors. All works well except for one issue - we cannot
> find a way to control the order of <reference/> elements in the generated
> descriptor through the @Reference annotation. A cursory glance suggests that
> <reference/> elements generated by the plug-in are not ordered in any way.
> The order of binding is significant. From the 4.2 Compendium spec....
> *112.5.7 Binding Services*
> "When binding services, the references are processed in the order in which
> they are specified in the component description. That is, target services from
> the first specified reference are bound before services from the next
> specified
> reference."
> We can work around this by manually creating descriptors but this is
> sub-optimal for obvious reasons.
> This appears to be caused by capturing references in a HashMap in the class
> SCRDescriptorGenerator.java. Should probably be a LinkedHashMap instead.
