Hi,

regarding the last MNG-5987 comments. Could this be done for 3.4?

Regards.

Order of declaration is really unreliable and complicated to understand when it comes to profiles and parents, and I'm not sure was ever really well-defined (or at least well-documented). Order of execution is also disrupted when you override an execution by its execution id in a child POM, but that child's execution order is different from the parent's.
