Classifier in jar file name is removed once assembled into war file
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MPWAR-67
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPWAR-67
Project: maven-war-plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Environment: Maven 2.0.4, JDK 1.5, maven-war-plugin version 2.0
Reporter: Andreas Guther
We use the Maven classifier to distinguish between different jar files of the
same version build for different purposes. An example would be the classifier
used for TestNG to distinguish between jdk15 and jdk14 jar files.
I noticed that the jar file (for example test-1.0-classifier.jar) ends up in
the WEB-INF/lib folder with the classifier removed (i.e. following the example
test.1.0.jar).
This is unexpected and confusing. Since there is very little documentation
about the expected behavior while using classifiers, it is not clear if this is
intenionally or a bug.
If intenionally, it should be mentioned in the maven-war-plugin documentation.
Maybe in that case it would be an enhancement to configure if the classifier
should be preserved or removed.
However, the current behavior is undocumented and unexpected.
