        Key: MAVEN-1276
    Summary: Enabling the setting of a fileextension for a dependency
       Type: Improvement

     Status: Closed
   Priority: Major

 Original Estimate: Unknown

Description:
                <dependency>
			<groupId>jboss</groupId>
			<artifactId>jboss</artifactId>
			<jar>JBoss-3.2.3.zip</jar>
			<version>3.2.3</version>
			<type>distribution</type>
		</dependency>

If the type of the dependency is different from the file extension of the artifact the only workaround is to specify the complete name of the artifact via the <jar> tag. It would be an improvement to offer an additional way of dealing with this situation. One could introduce an optional <fileextension>-tag. Than the information of the <groupid> and <artifactid> could be used for determining the filename. If the <fileextension> tag is not explicitly set, the behavior is the same as now.

                <dependency>
			<groupId>jboss</groupId>
			<artifactId>jboss</artifactId>
			<fileextension>zip</fileextension>
			<version>3.2.3</version>
			<type>distribution</type>
		</dependency>
