Is:
"R1 likes Arg2:T1 Arg1:T2"

Should be:
"R1 likes Arg1:T2 Arg2:T1"

The root of the problem:

public String toString() 
{
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(super.toString());
        Iterator var2 = this.getArguments().keySet().iterator();

        while(var2.hasNext()) {
            String role = (String)var2.next();
            sb.append(' ').append(role).append(':').append(this.getArgId(role));
        }

        return sb.toString();
    }

And, more specifically:

Iterator var2 = this.getArguments().keySet().iterator();

The set doesn't preserve any ordering of the key elements.
It's surprising that BratRelation class uses a HashMap internally where a simple
String[] arguments = new String[]{"Arg1", "Arg2"};
String [] values = new String[2];
and method setArgument(int, String)
would be sufficient.
Is there any known implementation of Brat that uses more than two arguments in a relation?

I'm using your Java Brat Library together with the standard "brat rapid annotation tool"
( http://brat.nlplab.org/index.html ).

The ordering of the arguments is crucial, because the "brat rapid annotation tool"
is unable to edit/ remove a relation annotation whose "Arg1" / "Arg2" are in reversed order.

Is there an example?

I was wondering why the pom declares stanford-corenlp as a dependency. i don't see it's usage anywhere in the code? i would reduce the deploymentfile-footprint to use this library if that dependency was not used.
