Description

We are using maven-model to parse, modify, and write back a POM file roughly like so:

 

MavenXpp3Reader reader = new MavenXpp3Reader(); 
Model model = reader.read(new FileReader(input)); 
// make modifications to the model 
MavenXpp3Writer writer = new MavenXpp3Writer(); 
writer.write(new FileWriter(output), model);

 

The exclusion shows up in the output file like this:

        <exclusions>
          <exclusion>
            <artifactId>plexus-cipher</artifactId>
            <groupId>org.sonatype.plexus</groupId>
          </exclusion>
        </exclusions>

In most other places in the POM, we order the groupId before the artifactId. It would be nice to do it the same way for exclusion, like so:

        <exclusions>
          <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.sonatype.plexus</groupId>
            <artifactId>plexus-cipher</artifactId>
          </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
