Brett Porter commented on MNG-4257:
-----------------------------------
@Joerg that's not uncommon (antlr did the same). I don't think that's a problem
for Maven to solve. Surely the JARs can co-exist, but don't need to. If they
are actually complimentary, then I think naming them differently (Maven or not)
is a good idea.
I'm inclined to close as 'won't fix'.

> Add the possibility to have 2 dependencies with the same groupId:artifactId

> For instance, when you have two versions of a jar with a refactoring of a
> package like dozer 4 and 5.
> In my application, I use dozer 5 but I have a dependency which uses dozer 4.
> As maven considers by default all libs are ascendant compatibility, I don't
> have dozer 4 in my classpath and so my depency does not work.
> It can be useful to force not to resolve some conflict.
> I don't think it is possible to do that with maven.
