Benjamin Bentmann closed MNG-4496.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Bug
      Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann

When you want to consume dependency types not defined by Maven itself, the consuming project has to declare a build extension that defines this dependency type and its characteristics. This build extension is usually the plugin that produces the dependency type. See the [JBoss Packaging Plugin|http://mojo.codehaus.org/jboss-packaging-maven-plugin/usage.html] for a related example.

> The problem, that SAR dependencies don't appear on the classpath existed already in Maven 1 and has been fixed for Maven 1. 
> See https://svn.cargo.codehaus.org/browse/MAVEN-1304. 
> I need to import a class file contained in a .sar file (JBoss service archive), but Maven 2.2.1 as well as 2.0.10 (and likely also those versions in between) don't find the class file during the compilation, because it isn't on the classpath, although it's correctly specified as a dependency:
> <dependency>
>       <groupId>ch.hrms.casex</groupId>
>       <artifactId>case-base-scheduling</artifactId>
>       <version>${parent.version}</version>
>       <type>sar</type>
> </dependency>
> During the compilation the error message: 'cannot find symbol...' is shown.
