Error in "Referencing the Maven Classpaths" documentation 
----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MANTRUN-159
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MANTRUN-159
             Project: Maven 2.x Antrun Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.6
            Reporter: David Cramer


On the page 
https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-antrun-plugin/examples/classpaths.html 
it says:

"A property is set for each dependency with the format 
"groupId:artifactId[:classifier]:type". For example, to show the path to a 
dependency with groupId "org.apache" and artifactId "common-util", the 
following could be used."

The position of the classifier in the property is not accurate, however. 
Through trial and error, I have determined that it is instead:

groupId:artifactId:type[:classifier]

So for the following:
    <dependency>
      <groupId>net.sf.docbook</groupId>
      <artifactId>docbook-xml</artifactId>
      <type>zip</type>
      <classifier>resources</classifier>
      <version>${docbook.schema.version}-all</version>
    </dependency>

This works:

$${net.sf.docbook:docbook-xsl:zip:ns-resources}=
     ${net.sf.docbook:docbook-xsl:zip:ns-resources}

But this does not work:

$${net.sf.docbook:docbook-xsl:ns-resources:zip}=
     ${net.sf.docbook:docbook-xsl:ns-resources:zip}


Change the sentence to the following.

"A property is set for each dependency with the format 
"groupId:artifactId:type[:classifier]". For example, to show the path to a 
dependency with groupId "org.apache" and artifactId "common-util", the 
following could be used."

It might be helpful to include an example that has a classifier as well.
