Andreas Sewe commented on MSITE-458:
------------------------------------
I made the original report when using Maven 2 and version 2.1 of the
{{maven-site-plugin}}. Since then I have moved on to Maven 3 and the
corresponding version of plugin; alas, the problem persists. (If you have
problems reproducing it, I'll attach a sample project -- but not tonight
anymore)
> Fixing the order of items in "Modules" menu
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MSITE-458
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-458
> Project: Maven 2.x and 3.x Site Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: multi module
> Affects Versions: 2.1
> Reporter: Andreas Sewe
>
> Currently, it is impossible to influence the order in which the "Modules"
> show up in a generated site's menu when including them like this in the site
> descriptor:
> bq. <menu ref="modules"/>
> As far as I can tell, the order of items in the menu depends on the order in
> which Maven builds the modules -- and this does not always put the most
> important module at the top of the list. In fact, the top of the list is in
> all likelihood occupied by various low-level infrastructure modules; the
> high-level, user-visible modules typically come much later. :-(
> This also means that the order of menu items depends on the module's
> dependencies; thus, this can result in unforeseen changes to the *site* when
> one module's *build* changes. Why doesn't Maven simply use the order of the
> {{module}} elements? That would be simple and predictable.
