Description

The change for MECLIPSE-437 causes all java.* and javax.* dependencies to come before the classpath container(s). However, I feel this should only apply to actual compile scoped dependencies. Those marked as "provided" should not come before the classpath container.

It appears as though others have run into this problem as well - skajotde commented on the original issue.
