Dennis Lundberg commented on MSITE-458:
---------------------------------------
Andreas, you indicated when you created the issue that it affects version 2.1
of the Site Plugin. Is that correct or is this issue only for the 3.0 version
of the Site Plugin together with Maven 3?
> Fixing the order of items in "Modules" menu
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MSITE-458
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-458
> Project: Maven 2.x and 3.x Site Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: multi module
> Affects Versions: 2.1
> Reporter: Andreas Sewe
>
> Currently, it is impossible to influence the order in which the "Modules"
> show up in a generated site's menu when including them like this in the site
> descriptor:
> bq. <menu ref="modules"/>
> As far as I can tell, the order of items in the menu depends on the order in
> which Maven builds the modules -- and this does not always put the most
> important module at the top of the list. In fact, the top of the list is in
> all likelihood occupied by various low-level infrastructure modules; the
> high-level, user-visible modules typically come much later. :-(
> This also means that the order of menu items depends on the module's
> dependencies; thus, this can result in unforeseen changes to the *site* when
> one module's *build* changes. Why doesn't Maven simply use the order of the
> {{module}} elements? That would be simple and predictable.
