Let me try to arrange the explanation here in good order. Classifiers were not designed to allow for 'different flavors of one artifact'. They were designed to allow an artifact to have an entourage, such as its sources or javadoc.
So, to begin with, there's no way to ask Maven to set a non-"" classifier for the main artifact with packaging jar. Further, there are corner cases of dependency management that will get you in this case. The maven model is really that you would use different artifactIds for the different 'flavors'. You might accomplish this with an aggregating pom and a bunch of modules, one per flavor, for example. No it's not entirely satisfactory. This is just not a case that Maven is designed to support well, and you should seriously consider alternatives. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
