------------------------------------
Summary: Allow importing a POM with a classifier
Key: MNG-6450
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6450
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Dependencies, POM
Affects Versions: 3.0
Reporter: Yegor Borovikov
Currently, a POM-packaged artifact with a classifier cannot be imported - there
is an explicit check for that in
[DefaultModelValidator|https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/master/maven-model-builder/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/model/validation/DefaultModelValidator.java#L480].
I couldn't find anything in Maven documentation that would mention/explain
this limitation. According to [~rfscholte] this [might
be|https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@maven.apache.org/msg114101.html]
"historical".
Example use case: a BOM (bill of materials) plugin could generate a BOM POM and
attach it (with a classifier) to the project. However, currently there's no way
to import the generated BOM because of the restriction.
