APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Abstract:
  
  Attempts to update a Maven project results in re-ordering of
  class path entries causing project compilation errors.
  
  Problem: You update a maven project:
  
  1. right click on the Maven project
  2. select Maven ? update project
  3. from the list of project select the maven project
  4. click OK
  
  This action results in the re-ordering of project class path
  within the 'Order and export' tab in the 'Java build path'
  dialog, so WebSphere runtime library is placed above the maven
  dependencies' class path container causing compilation errors.
  
  For more technical details, see:
  
  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=398121
  
  Local fix:
  
  The project build path needs to be updated manually to move the
  maven dependencies classpath container above the WebSphere
  Application Server classpath container.
