Hi all,
I noticed a difference in the spotless configuration of our repos.
The `logging-log4j2` repo uses:
<order>java,org,com,\#</order>
The `logging-log4j-tools` repo uses:
<order>java,javax,org.apache.logging,,\#java,\#javax,\#org.apache.logging,\#</order>
I copied the latter to `logging-log4j-transform`, so I don't disagree
with it. However I would like a common rule for all repos, so that I
can configure my editor accordingly.
Should we move Volkan's order to all other repos? I am not sure if
`org.apache.logging` imports should be highlighted with their own
group (it might be unexpected for contributors), but it looks nice.
Another question is POM sorting. In `logging-log4j-transform` I
experimented with:
<sortPom>
<expandEmptyElements>false</expandEmptyElements>
<keepBlankLines>true</keepBlankLines>
<indentSchemaLocation>true</indentSchemaLocation>
<sortDependencies>scope,artifactId,groupId</sortDependencies>
<sortDependencyExclusions>artifactId,groupId</sortDependencyExclusions>
<sortPlugins>artifactId,groupId</sortPlugins>
</sortPom>
This is basically what I tried to do in September, the only difference
is that it does not (and can not) sort `org.apache.logging` artifacts
before all others. What do you think about introducing the Spotless
rule to the main repo?
