Windowz XP, eclipse 3.2
Description
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.
