[xdoclet-plugins-interest] [jira] Commented: (XDP-239) Ability to order all taglib attributes in alphabetical order in generated TLD

JBUM commented on XDP-239:
--------------------------

Gregory,

I tend to agree that we should also preserve the inheritance order for people who'd like to see them that way.

Could we possibly have a flag (perhaps something called "sort") on the <component> element of the ant task for TaglibPlugin?  By default we can do what's there out of the box.  If sort="true", we can sort the attributes.

The reason why I wanted this is because we produce TLD Docs out of our TLDs and it's very hard to constantly search for attributes when they are in random order.

I will attach a patch for my changes (my first time trying this with SVN).

> Currently, all the inherited attributes of a taglib get listed in the TLD just fine.  However, the inherited ones come at the bottom of the attributes entries for a particular tag and not sorted along with the entire set.
> It appears the plugin is using an Arraylist to add attributes and it displays them essentially in that order.
> It would be nice to store them so that you retrieve them by alphabetical order of the attribute names.
> It would make it much nicer to read the TLD and easier to search for things.  Thanks!
