[jira] Commented: (MANTTASKS-109) classifier not supported

["Benjamin Bentmann (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MANTTASKS-109?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=130894#action_130894 ] 

Benjamin Bentmann commented on MANTTASKS-109:
---------------------------------------------

If you check out the [Maven Model|http://maven.apache.org/ref/2.0.8/maven-model/maven.html], you will notice that Maven in general does not allow to specify a classifier for a project's main artifact, that's not an issue with the Ant Tasks.

The following workaround could do: Change the POM in question to {{<packaging>pom</packaging>}} and drop the offending {{<classifier>}} line. Next, attach your TAR to this POM via the {{<attach>}} element described in the docs for the [Ant Tasks|http://maven.apache.org/ant-tasks.html]. This element allows you to set both packaging/type and classifier.
