How would you solve this case then:
Somewhere in a parent pom:
============== %< =============
<profile>
<id>linux-amd64</id>
<activation>
<os>
<family>linux</family>
<arch>amd64</arch>
</os>
</activation>
<properties>
<swt.artifactId>org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64</swt.artifactId>
</properties>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>windows-amd64</id>
<activation>
<os>
<family>windows</family>
<arch>amd64</arch>
</os>
</activation>
<properties>
<swt.artifactId>org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_64</swt.artifactId>
</properties>
</profile>
<!-- following more variants for supported platforms -->
============== %< =============
Somewhere in a child project X:
============== %< =============
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse.swt</groupId>
<artifactId>${swt.artifactId}</artifactId>
<version>3.106.0.v20170608-0516</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
============== %< =============
What would a consumer-pom.xml of X look like and how can a client of X
still depend on the proper dependency for its target platform?
Cheers,
Jörg
