[jira] Commented: (MNGSITE-124) Better documentation related to repository order

["Ondrej Zizka (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGSITE-124?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=248907#action_248907 ] 

Ondrej Zizka commented on MNGSITE-124:
--------------------------------------

It would be useful if one could modify the order by permuting the order of activated profiles.
Which means,  mvn -Pabc,def,ghi  would give different repo order than  mvn -Pghi,abc,def .

Does Maven documentation say something about the effect of profile ordering?
Since this is not yet documented, this could be a good time to enable such feature before it gets carved to the stone.

> I was not able to find clear documentation describing the order of repositories used during a build.  For example, the documentation should answer the following questions.
> 1. Which repositories are used first, the ones defined in settings.xml or in the pom.xml or super pom?
> 2. The order of repositories defined in the settings.xml profiles seems to be the reverse of what one would expect when viewed in the effective-pom, why is this?
> 3. If a repository ID in settings.xml matches one defined in pom.xml which one takes priority?
> Some additional information is available in the JBoss build forum.
