Ben Caradoc-Davies commented on MECLIPSE-548:
---------------------------------------------
I second the rating of this bug as critical. This bug breaks Eclipse
integration for GeoTools, because maven-eclipse-plugin does not honour
exclusions of transitive dependencies, and GeoTools Eclipse integration relies
on xml-apis provided by the JRE being compatible with xerces 2.7 and being
earlier on the classpath. Yes, this sucks, but it works.
To reproduce with Maven 2.0.10 (use a Java 5 JDK):
(1) svn co http://svn.osgeo.org/geotools/trunk geotools-trunk
(2) cd geotools-trunk
(3) mvn -Dmaven.test.skip install eclipse:eclipse
(4) import into Eclipse, and see modules fail to compile
> MECLIPSE-442 should be reverted. Classpath container entries should come
> before 3rd party jars in .classpath

> Key: MECLIPSE-548
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-548
> Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core : Dependencies resolution and build path
> (.classpath)
> Affects Versions: 2.6
> Environment: all
> Reporter: Joe Freeman
> Priority: Critical
>
> A patch was accepted into maven 2.6 as part of jira MECLIPSE-442 that
> configures eclipse to compile with a different order than the jre will load
> with. This patch moved the container classpaths to the end of the classpath
> in eclipse. This behavior is incorrect. The JRE's jar files should come
> before any 3rd party libraries on the classpath because those classes will be
> loaded before any of the 3rd party jars and because the JRE's classes cannot
> be overridden by classes in a 3rd party jar.
> I understand why MECLIPSE-442 wanted to reverse the order so they could pick
> up the properties files. The best way to do this was to create properties
> files in the indvidual projects if he needed at run time or in the
> test/resources directory if it was only needed for unit testing. project
> resources come before everything in eclipse
> With this patch added to maven 2.6, we have a situation where eclipse tells
> us we have compiler error when maven command line compilations do not.
