Brett Porter updated MNG-3515:
------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 2.0.x
it makes sense that we support just type changes for secondary artifacts, and
should not require a classifier.
I'd need to check if this is already possible with Maven and is only a plugin
limitation
> Allow several synonymous main artifacts, e.g. zip and tar.gz, just like you
> can have with a classifier

> It's possible for a project to generate several synonymous main artifacts
> that are different packagings of the same content. The specific case I ran
> across is in https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/activemq/branches/activemq-4.1
> assembly module rev 646965.
> The build happily constructs apache-activemq-4.1-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz/tar.bz2/zip
> artifacts in target but does not install or deploy them. However if I add a
> "bin" classifier all the artifacts are installed/deployed.
> Another possible example that jdcasey suggested would be a project that
> constructs both dll and so files.
> I don't see how this could introduce any ambiguity since any dependency on a
> non-jar artifact has to AFAIK specify the type explicitly.
