---------------------------------------------------------------
Had a talk with [~mcgilman] and I may be splitting this JIRA into two where
first one would address the "deterministic" part while the second would address
getting rid of elements that should not be serialized in the first place.
As of right now I am playing with the additional immutable ID (as was discussed
earlier). I am calling it _inceptionId_ which will be generated only once when
specific DTO is created for the first time and will remain unchanged. This id
will be utilized in both _hashCode()_ and _equals()_ to ensure proper ordering.

> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core Framework
> Reporter: Matt Gilman
> Assignee: Oleg Zhurakousky
> Fix For: 1.0.0
>
>
> Templates should be exported in a deterministic way so that they can be
> compared or diff'ed with another. Items to consider...
> - The ordering of components
> - The id's used to identify the components
> - Consider excluding irrelevant items. When components are imported some
> settings are ignored (run state).
