Description

Please add Grape grab support for Maven classifiers.

Here is an example of a @Grab declaration that does not work because of the lack of classifier support:

@Grab(group='net.sf.json-lib', module='json-lib', version='2.2.3')

It doesn't work because Grape/Ivy looks for a jar called json-lib-2.2.3.jar which doesn't exist in the repo. It needs to find json-lib-2.2.3-jdk15.jar (the jdk15 is a classifier).

A suggestion would be to support an optional classifier attribute like this:

@Grab(group='net.sf.json-lib', module='json-lib', version='2.2.3', classifier='jdk15')
