Canonical order of POM elements?
Has Maven ever produced a plugin to canonically order (rewrite) an
existing POM (and respecting whitespace)? Validating against an XSD,
I know element order doesn't matter -- but it would be nice if there
was a way to uniformly order my POM. No such order apparently exists
in the wild.

there is a defined order for projects with groupId matching
org.apache.maven.*
I cannot recall exactly what that order is though

Hopefully information already out on the Internet. The "Quick
Reference" [1] of Maven's POM might be a good guide.
As for me, I like to hand-write and read POM files. I also like the
*idea* of M2Eclipse's POM editor, but there is no predictable order to
where it adds elements. Anyone who works hard at keeping a POM cleanly
structured is going to find consternation with the tool. This could be
alleviated if there was a "preferred" way to order elements. Think of
this like the "code clean up" tool found in Eclipse IDE -- so no
matter who or what is editing the POM, cleaning up afterwards will put
it in a nicely ordered form.

Benedictus
what criteria would be used for <re>ordering your pom.xml
?
