Description

In our project, sub-modules are activated in profiles.
However, due to unflexible way Maven orders profiles, it's not possible to enforce certain submodule being run last. Only possibility is to move it one level above.

My suggestion is to allow specifying modules order in which they would run iif they are activated:

<modulesOrder>
  <module>module1<module>
  <module>module2<module>
  <otherModules/>
  <module>lastButOneModule</module>
  <module>lastModule</module>
</modulesOrder>
