[MJAVADOC-279] Javadoc plugin doesn't set dependencies correctly when pom uses classifiers

• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Not A Problem
• Affects Version/s: 2.6.1
• Environment: Maven 2.2.1, Windows XP

Description

Create a project which has dependencies like:

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>  
            <groupId>com.xxx</groupId>  
            <artifactId>mydep</artifactId>  
            <version>1.3.1</version>            
            <classifier>core</classifier>  
        </dependency>
        <dependency>  
            <groupId>com.xxx</groupId>  
            <artifactId>mydep</artifactId>  
            <version>1.3.1</version>            
            <classifier>util</classifier> 
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

This will add dependencies to the javadoc options file something like this:

classpath
'C:/dev/target/classes;c:/repository/com/xxx/mydep/1.3.1/mydep-1.3.1-core.jar;c:/repository/com/xxx/mydep/1.3.1/mydep-1.3.1-core.jar'

where it should yield:

classpath
'C:/dev/target/classes;c:/repository/com/xxx/mydep/1.3.1/mydep-1.3.1-core.jar;c:/repository/com/xxx/mydep/1.3.1/mydep-1.3.1-util.jar'

i.e. the classifier for the artifacts is being ignored. This causes various dependencies to be missing from the javadoc task which will eventually fail with:
