Controlling plugin execution order within a phase?

[Laird Nelson <lj...@gmail.com>]

Maven's documentation indicates that plugins bound to a phase will execute
in the order they are defined.

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2258 indicates that this is not the
case.

I am using Maven 2.2.1.

What options do I have to overcome this critical, jaw-droppingly severe bug?

How, in other words, in a given phase, can I sequence two or more plugins so
that the first one's results are visible to the second?

Thanks,
Laird

Bind them to separate phases. There are an awful lot of phases
available to you in the default lifecycle.

Use 3.x. We know it works there. Those who are working on 3.x aren't going to be back porting this. For build plugins this has been fixed, I can't speak to the reporting plugins as that's been decoupled and is now the concern of the maven-site-plugin, not the core.

If you want to back port it we can point you in the right direction.
