fabrizio giustina closed MECLIPSE-548.
--------------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

Fixed for 2.9 by reverting the behavior introduced in MECLIPSE-442 but adding a new property that let user switch to the container-last mode if really needed (mostly for compatibility for projects that were working due to MECLIPSE-442).
Thanks to anybody helped by reporting the problem and voting for this to be fixed.

> A patch was accepted into maven 2.6 as part of jira  	 MECLIPSE-442  that configures eclipse to compile with a different order than the jre will load with.  This patch moved the container classpaths to the end of the classpath in eclipse.  This behavior is incorrect.  The JRE's jar files should come before any 3rd party libraries on the classpath because those classes will be loaded before any of the 3rd party jars and because the JRE's classes cannot be overridden by classes in a 3rd party jar.  
> I understand why MECLIPSE-442 wanted to reverse the order so they could pick up the properties files. The best way to do this was to create properties files in the indvidual projects if he needed at run time or in the test/resources directory if it was only needed for unit  testing. project resources come before everything in eclipse
> With this patch added to maven 2.6, we have a situation where eclipse tells us we have compiler error when maven command line compilations do not.
