I want to modify automatically the order on which classpathentry are written by the Maven Eclipse plugin. Is there a way to do that?

I want to do that for two reasons.

First reason: in my application, the interface org.w3c.dom.Node is provided by several third-party libraries (for XML processing), as well as the JDK (1.6). However, the version of org.w3c.dom.* classes provided by these libraries are quite old compared to the JDK. For example, the method Node.getTextContent() does not exist there.

Running mvn eclipse:eclipse on my project will place these library before the JDK container in the .classpath, using this method in Eclipse will result in a compilation error. So the idea is to put this line:

<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/>

at the beginning of the .classpath file.

The second reason (less important) is when I run mvn eclipse:eclipse, it always set my src/test/* packages before src/java/* ones, which bothers me a little (yes, I know that in TDD we develop tests first, but still...)

Technical information: Java 1.6, Maven 2.2.1, Eclipse plugin 2.8

Edit: There is a question here that could look similar to mine, but it did not help me as it only deals with the order for third-party dependencies...

See this post: Maven classpath order issues. I can confirm that the 2.9 plugin has fixed this issue (or allows you to futz with the config).
