[jira] Commented: (MNG-1412) dependency sorting in classpath

["Knut Forkalsrud (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1412?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_94668 ] 

Knut Forkalsrud commented on MNG-1412:
--------------------------------------

I would think the most common example for this would be log4j static initialization

We don't want to configure logging explicitly in unit tests, so we rely on log4j's
builtin lookup of "log4j.properties".  Unfortunately way too many third party
jars contain one of these so we need the directory target/test-classes to be
first on the classpath.  One can argue that log4j's approach isn't the best, but it
is the standard for practical purposes.

> The .classpath file entries should be ordered by nearest transitiveness (if that's a word).
> For example, I have project A that depends on B that depends on C.  The classpath for A is generated in the order C, B.  Ideally the classpath should be in order of how near they are to the project, i.e. B, C.
