implement a preferred order for POM elements
--------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4534
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4534
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Wish
Components: POM
Affects Versions: 3.0-alpha-6
Reporter: Herve Boutemy
maven.mdo defines a de-facto order for POM XML elements, that is visible in
[POM reference
documentation|http://maven.apache.org/ref/2.2.1/maven-model/maven.html] or XML
documents generated with
[MavenXpp3Writer|http://maven.apache.org/ref/2.2.1/maven-model/apidocs/org/apache/maven/model/io/xpp3/MavenXpp3Writer.html].
The Maven team has voted during the end of June 2008 to follow [a specific POM
convention to ordering POM
elements|http://maven.apache.org/developers/conventions/code.html#POM_Code_Convention]
to improve their readingness. The consequence of this vote is that the [Maven
project descriptor|http://maven.apache.org/ref/2.2.1/maven-model/maven.html] is
no more considered as the reference for the ordering.
With MODELLO-224 fixed in Modello 1.2, Maven's internal order can be configured
in maven.mdo to match the POM convention: doing so would improve POM reference
documentation (the convention is more intuitive than the actual de-facto order)
and make MavenXpp3Writer implement the convention.
Note that this is only a *preferred* but *not enforced* order: POM elements
order remains unchecked.
