There is a recommended ordering for all Maven POM files.
See: https://maven.apache.org/developers/conventions/code.html
The POM files has been "fixed" by using the "sortpom-maven-plugin".
The blank lines has been kept to keep the element separation for
readability.
The plugin also fixes indentation etc.
Have a look at: https://github.com/Ekryd/sortpom/wiki
The profile has been set to "recommended_2008_06" that states:

mvn \
