Sort items in the generated .classpath
--------------------------------------

                 Key: MECLIPSE-294
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-294
             Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.3
            Reporter: Max Bowsher
         Attachments: eclipse-sort.patch

Currently, the ordering of items on the generated .classpath is controlled by 
the JVM's HashSet ordering.

One effect of this is that the project-07 and project-33 tests are currently 
commented out, because it's impossible to write an expected/.classpath file 
that works everywhere.

More generally, it's bad that the classpath ordering can vary between platforms 
and JVM orderings.

Therefore, I think it would be a good idea to sort the classpath. This would be 
done by invoking Collections.sort in 
AbstractIdeSupportMojo.doDependencyResolution. IdeDependency already implements 
Comparable, on the basis of groupId+artifactId+type. Classifier should be added 
to the properties considered in compareTo.

Patch attached as described above.
