Florian Probst commented on MECLIPSE-388: ----------------------------------------- The classpath order is the reason why we're still using version 2.4 of the eclipse plugin. It's important that the pom order of the dependencies is reflected in Eclipse. Imagine you are coding in eclipse, finished and the code does not compile when you'd like to deploy the artifact. This isn't very common, but without changing the build order the problem maybe can't be solved. Now we would like to use the additionalConfig/location feature added in 2.5 and have to use a newer version. The issue here was last discussed two years ago and there is still no fix version given. I found a third party version of the plugin called 2.8-cpfix on the internet: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/793054/maven-classpath-order-issues It would be great having a 2.9 fixing this issue instead of using 2.8-cpfix! > Correct classpath ordering in .classpath > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: MECLIPSE-388 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-388 > Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core : Dependencies resolution and build path > (.classpath) > Affects Versions: 2.4 > Reporter: Siarhei Dudzin > Priority: Critical > Attachments: MECLIPSE-388-it-test.patch, MECLIPSE-388.patch, > MECLIPSE-388.patch > > > Currently plugin sorts artifacts on its own (alphabetic order???) because the > order of dependencies that comes from maven is not reliable (random?).
