More Info

The POM Code Convention is the Maven project’s internal recommendation for POM element ordering. It calls for listing modifiers in the following order:

<modelVersion/>
<parent/>
<groupId/>
<artifactId/>
<version/>
<packaging/>
<name/>
<description/>
<url/>
<inceptionYear/>
<organization/>
<licenses/>
<developers/>
<contributors/>
<mailingLists/>
<prerequisites/>
<modules/>
<scm/>
<issueManagement/>
<ciManagement/>
<distributionManagement/>
<properties/>
<dependencyManagement/>
<dependencies/>
<repositories/>
<pluginRepositories/>
<build/>
<reporting/>
<profiles/>

Not following this convention has no technical impact, but will reduce the pom’s readability because most developers are used to the standard order.
