Hi All, I've noticed that in org.apache.maven.project.inheritance.DefaultModelInheritanceAssembler, the method below: private void assembleDependencyInheritance( Model child, Model parent ) { Map depsMap = new HashMap();
List deps = parent.getDependencies(); if ( deps != null ) { for ( Iterator it = deps.iterator(); it.hasNext(); ) { Dependency dependency = (Dependency) it.next(); depsMap.put( dependency.getManagementKey(), dependency ); } } deps = child.getDependencies(); if ( deps != null ) { for ( Iterator it = deps.iterator(); it.hasNext(); ) { Dependency dependency = (Dependency) it.next(); depsMap.put( dependency.getManagementKey(), dependency ); } } child.setDependencies( new ArrayList( depsMap.values() ) ); } is called by the buildFromRepository method in org.apache.maven.project.DefaultProjectBuilder (and I'm sure a few other places too). The effect it has, is that the dependencies in the pom of the project, come back in a different order to how they were declared in the pom. Now, I'm guessing the reason for the above code being implemented the way it is, is to allow easy handling of potential duplicates, the only problem is that the order is lost in the process. Or is this intentional, if it is can you explain why? If its not, I would think that there would be a large benefit in changing the above code so that it maintains the order. I'm happy to submit a JIRA request with my patch for it if that is the case.
