Hi devs,

how will Maven handle the problem of a dependency that should be used in two 
different versions? This applies to all project that release a new (normally 
major) version that can be used with the old version at the same time. This is 
currently possible at least with:

jmock 1.x / jmock 2.x
webworks 1.x / webworks 2.x

Maven supprts currently only two "versions" of sa dep if "groupId:artifactId" 
is different between those two versions/branches, but this might not be always 
the case. In Gentoo Linux such a situation is solved by introducing a "slot" 
indicating two different development trees that can be installed at the same 
time. For Maven this would mean that the separation between (main) artifacts 
should switch to "groupId:artifactId:slot", where slot is 0 by default

Is there already a proposal or doc for such kind of functionality in a future 
release that I might have been missed?
