Jilles van Gurp commented on MECLIPSE-581:
------------------------------------------
Sorry, but this is really annoying behavior. Basically, the order of stuff in
eclipse classpath has no relevance whatsoever in terms of semantics as far as I
can see. Basically you should be able to randomize the order and not have any
functional difference.
The main argument in MECLIPSE-318 seems to be that maven resolves dependencies
in some order, which has changed recently. Fine, but the eclipse classpath
represents the outcome of that process, not the actual process. And if the
outcome is that main depends on test somehow, that would be pretty messed up.
Also, from usability point of view, not having the first thing listed being the
main src package is not the best thing to have.
So, I would like to request this ticket be reopened and fixed. This "it's a
feature not a bug" kind of reflex is the easy way out here. Fixing the behavior
to be logical is better than documenting why it is counter intuitive (which it
is).
If it is actually required, i.e. there exist eclipse projects that do not work
unless test is listed before main, which I strongly doubt, it needs to be
documented why things will break otherwise. Even so, that is probably something
you would want to fix in your project rather than in maven.

> Environment: Maven 2.0.10
> Reporter: Paul Benedict

> This is either a bug or a questionable feature. When I run eclipse:eclipse on
> a project that has siblings in its parent POM, two things happen:
> (1) the sibling projects become a dependent project, not jar dependencies
> (2) src/test appears before src/main in the package explorer.
> I can handle #1, but #2 really is a tough adjustment.
