             Summary: please add property 'maven.jar.classifier'
                 Key: MJAR-170
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAR-170
             Project: Maven JAR Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.4
            Reporter: ryenus


For maven-source-plugin, adding a classifier to the source jar file name is as simple as:
# setup property <maven.source.classifier>jdk6-sources</maven.source.classifier>
# setup the right version of Maven source plugin, e.g. version 2.2.1

And that's enough.

But to add a classifier to the binary jar file name, we must use the very verbose way of configuring the maven-jar-plugin, as below:

{code:xml}
<plugin>
	<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
	<executions>
		<execution>
			<phase>package</phase>
			<goals>
				<goal>jar</goal>
			</goals>
			<configuration>
				<classifier>jdk6</classifier>
			</configuration>
		</execution>
	</executions>
</plugin>
{code}

By adding support for the {{maven.jar.classifier}} property, it would be much more straightforward and consistent.
