Hi Maven 2.0.9 has corrected classpath order, direct dependencies are first (and suborder is among declared entries). I think that thanks this very hopefilly improvement (bugfix imho ;)) maven eclipse plugin doesn't have to sort classpath. Generated .classpath should sorted entries amond order in pom.xml (and eg no push to first javax/java packages - if somebody wants it push first it could declared them first in pom.xml). Additional I guess Only JRE_CONTAINER can be last to give user ability to override default system libraries with provided in pom.xml (or it should be as same in core maven - jre libraries are first or last)
