[jira] Created: (MECLIPSE-687) It is impossible to have a (complex) build command before the defaults.

It is impossible to have a (complex) build command before the defaults.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MECLIPSE-687
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-687
             Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core : .project
    Affects Versions: 2.8
            Reporter: Dawid Weiss


For a project using an external tool builder it is impossible to have it run BEFORE the defaults (like javabuilder). Or I didn't find an intuitive way to do it, correct me if I'm wrong. The builder in question is, for example, an invocation of ANT (which generates additional code to be compiled by javac):

                <additionalBuildcommands>
                   <buildCommand>
                     <name>org.ui.externaltools.ExternalToolBuilder</name>
                     <triggers>auto,full,</triggers>
                     <arguments>
                       <LaunchConfigHandle>&lt;project&gt;/.externalToolBuilders/xxx.launch</LaunchConfigHandle>
                     </arguments>
                   </buildCommand>
                </additionalBuildcommands>

Any builders from additionalBuildcommands are appended to the list after the defaults. None of the following solve the problem:
- adding javabuilder to <additionalBuildcommands> (after external builder),
- specifying an empty <buildcommands></buildcommands> element to force no-defaults (this would be my expectation to have a custom ordering of build commands in additionalBuildcommands, but no -- no luck),
- specifying external tool builder in <buildcommands> is impossible because it takes arguments.

Any other cues?

[jira] Commented: (MECLIPSE-687) It is impossible to have a (complex) build command before the defaults.

Dawid Weiss commented on MECLIPSE-687:
--------------------------------------

After inspecting the plugin's source code I've found out that you can simply embed <buildCommand> (new style declaration) into <buildcommands> block -- this allows one to specify arbitrary complex commands in any order. 

I think this feature could be documented as part of <buildcommands> block, because right now it's not possible to figure it out (unless somebody tries it blindly or inspects the sources).
