Guillaume Nodet commented on MNG-5987:
--------------------------------------
Note that the `priority` element has been introduced to fix
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-4345, though it's labelled as
internal.
It may be that it would just be a matter of making this field public.
> Document the algorithm calculating the order of plugin executions inside a
> phase.

> Key: MNG-5987
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5987
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation: General
> Reporter: Christian Schulte
> Priority: Critical
>
> Users continuously report issues regarding the order of plugin executions:
> repeating that *"this order is not expected to be guaranteed inside a phase"*
> is not convincing for them. (notice that perhaps telling that it *cannot* be
> guaranteed nor really controlled may be more convincing...)
> The algorithm used to calculate the order of executions performed by Maven
> needs to be documented:
> - declaration order in the POM
> - inheritance merging from parent POM,
> - merging of profiles and other plugin containers,
> - the order of executions of multiple executions in the same lifecycle phase,
> - the sorting by plugin that happens when multiple goals are defined for the
> same plugin,
> etc.
> based on Model Building
