Write .classpath with ordered dependencies [incl. Patch]
--------------------------------------------------------
Key: MECLIPSE-152
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-152
Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.2
Environment: Windowz XP, eclipse 3.2
Reporter: Holger Hoffstätte
Attachments: orderDependencies.patch
Related to my comment in MNG-1412 - I decided to take a quick stab at the
eclipse plugin and voilá! Ordered dependencies in the written .classpath. This
is only a prototype (my first attempt at maven development) and could serve as
basis for other orderings like groupId, transitive nearness etc.
Initially I wanted to make IdeDependency comparable (similar to MECLIPSE-150
which added proper equals) but having multiple Comparators seemed better for
extensibility.
It worked right away, does exactly what I want (ordering by artifactId) and has
minimal impact. I am not familiar with the maven codebase so I hope this is the
right place to do the actual ordering before writing; obviously it should
observe a property like -DorderDependencies=artifactId or something similar.
The patch is against svn r425750 (2006-08-30). Currently no testcase but if
someone tells me how to add/read an orderDependencies property I might add one.
Comments welcome.
