------------------------------------

             Summary: Allow importing a POM with a classifier
                 Key: MNG-6450
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6450
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Dependencies, POM
    Affects Versions: 3.0
            Reporter: Yegor Borovikov


Currently, a POM-packaged artifact with a classifier cannot be imported - there is an explicit check for that in [DefaultModelValidator|https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/master/maven-model-builder/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/model/validation/DefaultModelValidator.java#L480]. I couldn't find anything in Maven documentation that would mention/explain this limitation. According to [~rfscholte] this [might be|https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@maven.apache.org/msg114101.html] "historical".

Example use case: a BOM (bill of materials) plugin could generate a BOM POM and attach it (with a classifier) to the project. However, currently there's no way to import the generated BOM because of the restriction.
