plugin should respect classpath / dependency order

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In the newest version (after Dec. 2010) of the plugin the classpath order is no 
longer respected. It's a regression that happened when switching from 1.3.7 to 
2.0.0/2

From the first look at the source code, I see that Set<String> is used in 
MainAnnotationProcessorMojo's getClasspathElements method now to store the 
classpath of the annotation processor (instead of a List like before). This way 
however, the order of the classpath element is lost. Our project requires that 
order to remain unchanged.

I see that this change has happened 
http://code.google.com/p/maven-annotation-plugin/issues/detail?id=26 . Our 
problem is also JPA2 related. We use eclipselink's canocial model generator and 
it needs to have an actual javax.persistence implementation on the classpath, 
so I have put an eclipselinks's implementation before the dependency for the 
(implementation free) javax:javaee-api 6.0 artifact. With 
maven-annotation-plugin 2.0+ however the javaee-api 6.0 jar file always appears 
before the eclipselink persistence api implementation when the processor is 
executed and it thus fails.
