>                 Key: MDEP-669
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-669
>             Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: build-classpath
>            Reporter: Xinrong Meng
>            Priority: Trivial
>
> The documentation in [https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/build-classpath-mojo.html#outputProperty] is relatively confusing.
>  
> `A property to set to the content of the classpath string.` would give users illusions that they can use this parameter to modify the content of the classpath string, rather than set the content of the classpath string to some property.
>  
> As far as I'm concerned, I wanted to embed classifier information in the displayed classpath string, and I misunderstood this parameter until I checked the source code of how it is defined.
>  
> All in all, it would be great we could explicitly point it out that this parameter sets the content of the classpath string to some property.
