Example Tycho Project to enforce wrong formatted feature.xmls

This small project demonstrates that the Tycho-Plugins (1.2.0) have a problem to generate source-feature.xmls with correct tag order.

General Information

The project consists of two features:

1. xxx.feature.a (that contains plugin xxx.plugin.a)

2. xxx.feature.b (that contains plugin xxx.plugin.b)

Furthermore, there is a ``dependency'' between xxx.feature.a and xxx.feature.b (xxx.feature.a includes xxx.feature.b)

How To Build

cd xxx.main.build
mvn clean install

Results

Goto central/eclipse/features/xxx.feature.a/target/sources-feature/feature.xml

expected result

actual result

Conclusion

According to the official feature dtd the <includes>-tags should be placed between the <license>-tag and the <plugin>-tag.
