Description

Repositories and pluginRepositories defined in profiles in settings.xml are not order consistently. This is a regression compared to Maven 2.

Scenario:

• Settings.xml defines two profiles, A and B (in this order).
• Both profiles define a repository and a pluginRepository, A-repo/A-pluginrepo and B-repo/B-pluginrepo respectively.

When checking the effective pom (help:effective-pom) the resulting list of repositories and pluginRepositories shows that they are not ordered consistently. The order is B-repo, A-repo and A-pluginrepo, B-pluginrepo respectively. With Maven 2.2.1 they are ordered consistently (and what I argue is correct): B-repo, A-repo and B-pluginrepo, A-pluginrepo.
