Hm, classifiers in plugins, not really used at all. Dependencies yes. I
guess classifier is more overhead and evil than benefit.

If you build for several environments than you need classifiers (e.g. with maven-assembly-plugin), maven-jar-plugin (test-jar, jar), maven-deploy-plugin, maven-source-plugin, maven-javadoc-plugin..just mention some examples.. etc...i wouldn't call it evil...

I remember Maven docu talked about classifier jdk1.5 as an example and
maybe environment specifics, but I guess it was the only examples in the
tutorial.

Yes that's what i know of as well...

Regarding valid characters in classifier - no idea if any exists.

Exactly that's what i'm searching for...

    Hi,

    during my implementations i have come to the conclusion if someone
    sets a classifier for the execution of a plugin...it would be useful
    to check the validity of the classifier...

    Based on that i started to search but unfortunately i didn't found a
    definition etc. documentation how a valid classifier looks like or
    the inverse what it does not allowed to be..

    So does someone know of any kind of definition how a valid
    classifier looks like? Some kind of reference ?

    Kind regards
