Vincent, Here is my 2 cents.
Maven is designed to have one artifact per project. If a project produces more than one artifact, imagine what will happen when 2 artifacts from the same project are referenced as dependencies. <dependencies> <dependency> <id>foo</id> <type>ejb</type> <version>SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency> <dependency> <id>foo</id> <type>ear</type> <version>SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency> </dependencies> The above causes a conflict. If you calls pom.getDependency("foo"), it will always return ejb but never the ear. I'm not against your proposed modification. Just that the change will cause the above minor problem.
