Has anyone looked at how the reactor (depending (no pun intended) on which DependencyResolver one uses) decides to order the processing of multiple project.xml's?
What's the algorithm for how dependencies affect build order across multiple projects? I don't think I'll be able to figure it out without reading the source code. Here's one big difference -- the two DependencyResolvers order things completely differently: Z:\Platform\platform>maven - Dmaven.core.dependencyresolver=org.apache.maven.jelly.tags.maven.GraphDependency Resolver [snip ASCII art] Starting the reactor... Our processing order: Platform kernel user component Platform Weblogic 7 component Platform Data Integration component Platform Workflow component Platform Webflow Component Platform User Interface Services component Platform kernel system component Platform Web Services component And here's the default resolver's ordering of the same project.xml files: Z:\Platform\platform>maven [snip ASCII art] Starting the reactor... Our processing order: Platform Webflow Component Platform Workflow component Platform kernel system component Platform kernel user component Platform Weblogic 7 component Platform User Interface Services component Platform Data Integration component Platform Web Services component That's one thing -- more annoying is that changing the order in which dependencies are declared in the <dependencies> element affects the order in which the GraphDependencyResolver processes projects. Can anyone shed some light on this? What I'm looking for is the simple kind of declarative depends functionality provided in Ant as <target depends="target1, target2, target3">, except the dependency is between projects, not targets. Ideally I would specify the processing order, not Maven; Maven's not going to figure out the package dependency graph of my projects.
