Let the order of profiles in `mvn -P...` determine their order in effective POM
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4946
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4946
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Artifacts and Repositories
Affects Versions: 2.2.1
Reporter: Ondrej Zizka
Currently, the order of profile references on the command line does not affect
the order in which they are merged to the effective POM.
Easy test:
1) Create two profiles in settings-test.xml, say profA and profB
2) add a repository to each, say repoA, repoB
3) run `mvn -s settings-test.xml -PprofA,profB help:effective-pom`
4) run `mvn -s settings-test.xml -PprofB,profA help:effective-pom`
You will see that the order of repositories is not affected by the order of
profiles after -P.
This behavior is not documented, AFAICT, so changing it shouldn't be considered
as breaking backward compatibility.
A possibility to determine the order in which profiles are applied would be a
great improvement since it would allow changing the build dramatically just by
slightly changing the command.
