Delany commented on MNG-5987: ----------------------------- I don't want to have to rename default plugin executions in order to line them all up correctly. Rather introduce an execution *priority* tag, with possible values 0-255. That way you don't break existing functionality. You could also make a maven-enforcer-plugin rule that finds clashing priority values. > Document the algorithm calculating the order of plugin executions. > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MNG-5987 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5987 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Documentation: General > Reporter: Christian Schulte > Priority: Critical > > Users continuously report issues regarding the order of plugin executions: > repeating that this order is not expected to be guaranteed inside a phase is > not convincing for them. > The algorithm used to calculate the order of executions performed by Maven > needs to be documented: > - declaration order in the POM > - inheritance merging from parent POM, > - merging of profiles and other plugin containers, > - the order of executions of multiple executions in the same lifecycle phase, > etc. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
