Michael Osipov commented on MNG-6450: ------------------------------------- [~rfscholte], it doesn't sound that stupid to generate a BOM POM. If we relax this, current usecases wouldn't actually break because there is no change for them. [~yborovikov], do you have a sample project for this already. I'd be interested to see how you imagine this plugin to work. As far as I know the Spring Framework BOM POM is managed manually and it works fine. > 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 > Priority: Major > Labels: easy-fix, pull-request-available > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
