Sort items in the generated .classpath
--------------------------------------
Key: MECLIPSE-294
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-294
Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.3
Reporter: Max Bowsher
Attachments: eclipse-sort.patch
Currently, the ordering of items on the generated .classpath is controlled by
the JVM's HashSet ordering.
One effect of this is that the project-07 and project-33 tests are currently
commented out, because it's impossible to write an expected/.classpath file
that works everywhere.
More generally, it's bad that the classpath ordering can vary between platforms
and JVM orderings.
Therefore, I think it would be a good idea to sort the classpath. This would be
done by invoking Collections.sort in
AbstractIdeSupportMojo.doDependencyResolution. IdeDependency already implements
Comparable, on the basis of groupId+artifactId+type. Classifier should be added
to the properties considered in compareTo.
Patch attached as described above.
