Yeah, definitely come to the conclusion that this needs to be supported; however, it will have to wait until after JBW unless someone else wants to take a stab :)

What do you need?Regardless of whether you like classifiers in general, you can't ignore the fact that they are part of a dependency. You really need to support them or else the forge dep support is just incomplete.I agree that they are bad for distinguishing between two artifacts (like in the case of testng). The main intention for them is to reference complementary jars, like -source, -javadoc, etc. Of course, you don't need to add those as dependencies.-Dan--Dan AllenPrincipal Software Engineer, Red Hat | Author of Seam in Action
