Gerhard Poul commented on MNG-5987: ----------------------------------- If that is indeed the case, then it could be a lot better documented. If you for example look at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5799?focusedCommentId=15173347&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-15173347 you'll see that I did indeed notice something in the documentation that would indicate otherwise. > 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)
