    Description

      To reproduce, add three unrelated projects to a project group where one project depends on the other two, such as an EAR that depends on two WARs. They can use a master pom as <parent> but should not be part of a parent-with-modules hierarchy.

      The expected behavior is for Continuum to build the WARs first and then the EAR, however this is not what happens in my example. The EAR is built first, causing it to have the wrong/old WARs inside and wasting time spent testing the wrong artifacts.

      This happens whether or not multiple parallel build queues are used. With multiple queues, Continuum scatters the projects among queues and the build order depends on what finishes first. When restricted to a single queue, you can see the incorrect order as it moves through the queue.

      Continuum should consider dependencies when ordering projects within a group, even if the projects are not part of a multi-module hierarchy.

      [Unconfirmed regression in 1.3.x. I believe this worked correctly in 1.2.x as we're getting new problem reports after upgrading, but haven't had time to verify.]
