Bruno F commented on MNG-4297:
------------------------------
Please don't disallow properties in the classifier since it is the only smart
way (please tell me if you know any other possibility) to handle native code,
JNI stuff, etc. Disallow anywhere but not in the classifier.
This enables to group a jar and its associated JNI libraries into identifiable
artifacts:
mygroupid:jniartifact:1.3:zip:bin-x86-linux2.6-gcc3.3
mygroupid:jniartifact:1.3:zip:bin-x86-windows-vc8
This also enables to declare native dependencies for the JNI code:
<dependency>
<groupId>boost</groupId>
<artifactId>boost_regex</artifactId>
<version>${boost.version}</version>
<classifier>bin-${target.platform}</classifier>
<type>zip</type>
</dependency>
Where target platform is defined by profile and shall be set to
x86-linux2.6-gcc3.3 on linux or bin-x86-windows-vc8 on windows.

> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: POM
> Reporter: Brian Fox
>
> Maven currently allows properties in the groupId, artifactId and version of a
> pom. This causes artifacts to be produced that require full inheritance and
> interpolation before they can be uniquely identified. It also poses potential
> problems if the properties are defined in settings, env or profiles where the
> consumer can't exactly identify the artifact after the fact.
> Allowing properties in the coordinates generally allows bad practices. After
> all, how can you not know what the identify of the project you're working on
> actually is?
