Support groupId:artifactId:version:type and
groupId:artifactId:version:type:classifier as resource bundle references
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRRESOURCES-55
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRRESOURCES-55
Project: Maven 2.x Remote Resources Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 1.2
Reporter: Andrew Phillips
Attachments: MRRESOURCES-55-preserve-original-codepath-patch.txt
Currently, the RR plugin only support groupId:artifactId:version as an
identifier for a remote bundle. However, there are quite a few use cases (e.g.
platform-specific bundles) where it would be very useful to be able to identify
bundles additionally by classifier. The current workaround we use - different
versions - works, but isn't particularly elegant or semantically accurate.
The proposal therefore is to also allow identifiers of the type
groupId:artifactId:version:type:classifier
As Brett pointed out in an IRC chat, this automatically adds the type to the
identifier as well. One could ignore it or enforce 'jar' (the current default),
but on the other hand there seems to be no reason *not* to allow types such as
'zip', or even 'war' or 'ear'. Only 'pom' doesn't make much sense.
Two potential implementations, with tests, are attached.
