title: Eclipse "build path" and m2e. Maven --> "Update project configuration" always re-orders my build path
body: <p>I am developing a CXF web service consumer and I'm forced to use a fairly elderly version of Java (1.6.0_24 on RHEL6).</p>
  
  <p>I have added various Maven dependencies to compensate for older versions of various objects in the Java system libraries.</p>
  
  <p>So, in the build path (in Eclipse) the order matters: It needs to hit the Maven dependencies before it hits the JRE system libs, or else compilation errors occur.</p>
  
  <p>If I right click on my project and select "Maven" --> "Update project configuration" after modifying the POM file etc, m2e seems to re-order the build path libraries so that Maven dependencies come <em>after</em> the JRE system libs, which I don't want.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way of specifying the build path order somewhere (e.g. in the POM etc) so it sticks?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
