    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4225?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=182052#action_182052 ] 

nambi sankaran commented on MNG-4225:
-------------------------------------

This issue manifests when we use IBM JDK 1.6.
But there are no problems with SUN JDK 1.6.

Why do we see different behaviour between Different  JDK vendors?

> We have been using a "parent pom" that specifies the plugin dependencies for our projects. This parent pom has been in use for more than a year. We have been using IBM JDK 1.5 sr4 until recently, and we had no problems building the parent pom. However for the upcoming release we upgraded to IBM JDK 1.5 sr8. Upon upgrade to the sr8 edition, when we tried to build the parent pom, the build process incorrectly tried to search for specified plugin dependencies, and since these specified plugin dependencies are built AFTER the parent pom is built the build process fails with the error message that it could not find the plugin-dependencies in order to proceed with building the parent pom.
> We encountered the same issue with IBM JDK 1.6 as well. Since many of the developers who use our product will be using IBM JDK 1.6, we need to resolve this issue for both IBM JDK1.5 sr8 and IBM JDK 1.6.
> We did NOT encounter this issue with the Sun JDK 1.6. This led us to approach IBM to investigate the issue as it appeared that this maybe an IBM JDK specific issue. We sent our test case to them, and they reported to us that suspect that maven code could be depending on the hashmap ordering, which is breaking the dependency check.
> They instructed us to post this issue to the maven issue tracking and they will follow up with the maven folks.
> Attached is the test case to reproduce the problem. Please read the file how_to_reproduce.txt in the attached. IBM folks will provide you with the needed JDK's.
