Ondrej Zizka commented on MNG-4946:
-----------------------------------
> Which he can be adjusting their declaration order in the settings or POM.
It can not if some of them are auto-activated. Those go first, no matter what.
One real use case:
settings.xml with two profiles, 1) profA, auto-activated, 2) profB, activated
by -P profB.
They contain different repository definition.
I need Maven to query profB's repository first, but there's no way because
Maven ignores the order of -P.
If this improvement was implemented, I could do "mvn install -PprofB,profA",
and voi-la - Maven would do what I need.

> 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.
