Christian Schulte commented on MNG-5987: ---------------------------------------- Would it be ok to order plugin executions based on the execution id? Could this be done in 3.4? It will change the order of plugin executions but people get a chance to use the execution id to declare the order of executions manually. {code} java.text.Collator.getInstance( java.util.Locale.US ).compare( executionId1, executionId2 ); {code} > Document the algorithm calculating the order of plugin executions. > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MNG-5987 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5987 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Christian Schulte > Priority: Critical > > Users continuously report issues regarding the order of plugin executions: > repeating that this order is not expected to be guaranteed inside a phase is > not convincing for them. > The algorithm used to calculate the order of executions performed by Maven > needs to be documented: > - declaration order in the POM > - inheritance merging from parent POM, > - merging of profiles and other plugin containers, > - the order of executions of multiple executions in the same lifecycle phase, > etc. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
