I can only refer you to the "What Is Maven" page [1]:
Maven does encourage best practices, but we realise that some projects
may not fit with these ideals for historical reasons. While Maven is
designed to be flexible, to an extent, in these situations and to the
needs of different projects, it can not cater to every situation
without making compromises to the integrity of its objectives.

If you decide to use Maven, and have an unusual build structure that
you cannot reorganise, you may have to forgo some features or the use
of Maven altogether.


Good news -- no one (on this list, at least) is forcing you to use
Maven! And its open source, so if you need this feature, you can go in
and add it yourself.

That's such a cop-out.  I've got legacy jars that my project depends on that
happen to have some overlap in the classes.  What's so wrong with AT LEAST
obeying the declared order of the dependencies in the POM instead of the
random order that currently exists?
