Cyrill Ruettimann commented on MNG-2314:
----------------------------------------
Ok I see. I just wondering about this behavour, since in my opinion the
classifier has a smaller impact than the version. If you look at the definition
of a dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.testng</groupId>
<artifactId>testng</artifactId>
<version>5.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
<classifier>jdk14</classifier>
</dependency>
With the classifier you declare to stick with version 5.1, but with a special
kind of this version.
testng-5.1.jar --> testng-5.1-jdk14.jar
The same applies to javadoc and sources (if you upload javadocs and sources
with deploy:deploy-file).
But maven behaves (what you are saying) different in the case of dependency
resolution (at least in reactor builds). The classifier is on the same level as
groupId and artifactId. This is different from the view of the repository
hierarchy.
