Robert Newson commented on MECLIPSE-548: ---------------------------------------- this also broke my project. I have a dependency on mx4j (it's transitive and shouldn't appear on here, but that's a different bug). It took a few frustrating hours to track down why I could not compile in Eclipse but could in Maven. Please revert this change. I have pinned to 2.5.1 for now. > MECLIPSE-442 should be reverted. Classpath container entries should come > before 3rd party jars in .classpath > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MECLIPSE-548 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-548 > Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core : Dependencies resolution and build path > (.classpath) > Affects Versions: 2.6 > Environment: all > Reporter: Joe Freeman > Priority: Critical > > A patch was accepted into maven 2.6 as part of jira MECLIPSE-442 that > configures eclipse to compile with a different order than the jre will load > with. This patch moved the container classpaths to the end of the classpath > in eclipse. This behavior is incorrect. The JRE's jar files should come > before any 3rd party libraries on the classpath because those classes will be > loaded before any of the 3rd party jars and because the JRE's classes cannot > be overridden by classes in a 3rd party jar. > I understand why MECLIPSE-442 wanted to reverse the order so they could pick > up the properties files. The best way to do this was to create properties > files in the indvidual projects if he needed at run time or in the > test/resources directory if it was only needed for unit testing. project > resources come before everything in eclipse > With this patch added to maven 2.6, we have a situation where eclipse tells > us we have compiler error when maven command line compilations do not. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
