> I'm not an expert for Maven internals, but there seem to be subtle differences regarding empty properties. Sometimes they are set to null and sometimes they remain an empty string (""). The later causes an error when used as classifier
> This seems to be the problematic code from AbstratJarMojo.java:
> {code:java}
> String classifier = getClassifier();
> if ( classifier != null ) // ERROR check for empty string
> {
>     projectHelper.attachArtifact( getProject(), getType(), classifier, jarFile );
> }
> else
> {
>     getProject().getArtifact().setFile( jarFile );
> }
> {code}
> The resulting error is
> {code}
> [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-jar-plugin:2.4:jar (default-jar) on project sample-project: Execution default-jar of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-jar-plugin:2.4:jar failed: For artifact {org.example:sample-project:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT:jar}: An attached artifact must have a different ID than its corresponding main artifact. -> [Help 1]

> It's not easy to set a property to "" though as properties from XML will typically resolve to null but some plugins do. For example, it's possible to use gmaven-plugin to achieve this:
> {code:xml}
> <plugin>
>   <groupId>org.codehaus.gmaven</groupId>
>   <artifactId>gmaven-plugin</artifactId>
>   <executions>
>     <execution>
>       <id>artifact-classifier</id>
>       <phase>initialize</phase>
>       <goals>
>         <goal>execute</goal>
>       </goals>
>       <configuration>
>         <source>
>           project.properties['artifact.classifier'] = "";
>         </source>
>       </configuration>
>     </execution>
>   </executions>
> </plugin>
> <plugin>
>   <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
>   <version>${maven-jar-plugin.version}</version>
>   <inherited>true</inherited>
>   <configuration>

>   </configuration>
