Allow support for multiple classifier for a given artifact
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2596
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2596
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Artifacts
Affects Versions: 2.0.4
Reporter: Vincent Massol
Right now Maven 2.0.x only support a single classifier per artifact. There are
cases where more than 1 classifer would be required. For example the Clover
plugin modifies the current artifact to add a "clover" classifier. However when
the source plugin runs it tries to add another classifier ("sources") to the
artifact. As only one classifier is currently supported it's not working (see
MSOURCES-10). In the clover plugin code we also have things like:
{code:java}
// Do not try to find Clovered versions for artifacts with classifiers.
This is because Maven2 only
// supports a single classifier per artifact and thus if we replace the
original classifier with
// a Clover classifier the artifact will fail to perform properly as
intended originally. This is a
// limitation.
