Classifiers are not for what you think they are for... they are for flagging side artifacts... and in general they should not be used. A good example of a case for side artifacts is the javadocs.jar. You normally do not depend on the javadocs jar, it is a side artifact for IDEs.
If you want to flag that a specific build is, e.g. for development use, then just reflect that in the version, i.e. 1.0-dev-1-SNAPSHOT On 8 July 2014 09:21, Fragoso, Ruben <ruben.frag...@ca.com> wrote: > Hello Everyone > > I would like to know if it is possible to add classifiers while building > as a maven parameter, for example if I want to add the classifier "dev" to > an artifact, when building. > > Thank you in Advance, hope to hear from you. > > Best Regards > Ruben Fragoso > >
