Max Bowsher commented on MECLIPSE-152: -------------------------------------- Please re-open this issue. A sort by artifactId is not sufficient. Part of the reason for desiring sorting is so that the generated classpaths in the plugins own tests are consistent - some of these contain entries which differ only in classifier, so the classifier it is necessary that the classifier be included in the sort criteria. For a full solution, the sort key should probably include groupId+artifactId+type+classifier - i.e. the criteria applied by Maven in DefaultArtifact.getDependencyConflictId(). > Write .classpath with ordered dependencies [incl. Patch] > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MECLIPSE-152 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-152 > Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.2 > Environment: Windowz XP, eclipse 3.2 > Reporter: Holger Hoffstätte > Assignee: Arnaud Heritier > Fix For: 2.5 > > Attachments: orderDependencies.patch, orderDependencies.patch > > > Related to my comment in MNG-1412 - I decided to take a quick stab at the > eclipse plugin and voilá! Ordered dependencies in the written .classpath. > This is only a prototype (my first attempt at maven development) and could > serve as basis for other orderings like groupId, transitive nearness etc. > Initially I wanted to make IdeDependency comparable (similar to MECLIPSE-150 > which added proper equals) but having multiple Comparators seemed better for > extensibility. > It worked right away, does exactly what I want (ordering by artifactId) and > has minimal impact. I am not familiar with the maven codebase so I hope this > is the right place to do the actual ordering before writing; obviously it > should observe a property like -DorderDependencies=artifactId or something > similar. The patch is against svn r425750 (2006-08-30). Currently no testcase > but if someone tells me how to add/read an orderDependencies property I might > add one. > Comments welcome. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
