Ordering dependencies in Maven2

[Scott Tailor <sc...@netgiro.com>]

Is there a way to specify the ordering that dependencies are placed in the
classpath when compiling. On my current project we are using visibroker ORB
and it's important that the visibroker jar files be placed before the jdk
jar files when compiling the project. In other words I need to ensure that
the visibroker ORB is seen rather than the one included with the JDK.  If
maven2 doesn't support such a feature, is there a work around (perhaps using
the ant plugin) so I only have to write a compile task in ant?

 

Any help greatly appreciated,
