Body:
Regarding your comment Carlos :
I have always felt there was something odd about artifacts and dependencies in the POM
(maven1) : an artifact is something 'physical', in the sense that it is a concrete
file in the FS. An artifact has a 'type' which is indeed rather its file extension.
However, the 'type' is sometimes misunderstood as the 'role' of the artifact : is it a
plain library, a tag-library, a maven plugin, etc...
The jar 'type' (rather file extension) is the best example of this : a jar file can be
used for many purposes. In the repository, the
<group>/<type>s/<file>-<version>.<type> naming convension should in my opinion be
<group>/<role>s/<file>-<version>.<type>
So my question is, regarding maven2, will this notion be introduced (i guess from your
comment that you may be rather conservative on the POM in maven2 ;-) and if not, how
do you address the practical issue this jira-issue relates to (the fact that you have
to workaround this by using a different name for, let's say, a plain library and a
tag-library).

Description:
I was trying to bundle taglibs in a war project when i stumbled into this unexpected
behavior : for each and every taglib in my web-app, either the jar file or the tld got
copied to the target web-app, but I could not get them to be copied together.
After a moment I realized that the dependency for a given taglib (one jar and one tld)
had the same artifactId but different types (jar and tld). A quick hack in the war
plugin shows that the forEach loop only sees one of the two.
So I guess that the dependency type should participate in equals() and hashcode() for
a dependency (or modify the getId() of Dependency, but I don't know the other impacts).
