Description

I've got something like this, which is always executed:

 <build>
         <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

                                    <version>${manual.version}</version>
                                    <classifier>german</classifier>
                                    <type>pdf</type>
                                                                         </artifactItem>

                                    <classifier>english</classifier>
                                    <type>pdf</type>

                                    <classifier>german</classifier>
                                    <type>pdf</type>
                                </artifactItem>
                                <artifactItem>

                                    <artifactId>administration-manual</artifactId>
                                    <version>${manual.version}</version>
                                    <classifier>english</classifier>
                                    <type>pdf</type>
                                </artifactItem>
                            </artifactItems>
                            <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/downloads/documentation</outputDirectory>
                            <overWriteReleases>false</overWriteReleases>
                            <overWriteSnapshots>true</overWriteSnapshots>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

...
</build>

I've also defined a profile "development" where I want to copy some additional dependencies. When I configure the plugin like the version above Maven always appends a classifier "german" to all dependencies. This results in an error, that Maven is not able to resolve the dependencies from any repository. Also setting the classifier to empty using <classifier></classifier> doesn't help.
