Description

If I have two dependencies one with a classifier and one without, that look something like this:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.mycompany</groupId>
  <artifactId>project1</artifact>
  <version>1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.mycompany</groupId>
  <artifactId>project1</artifact>
  <classifier>client</classifier>
  <version>1</version>
</dependency>

Currently I need to specify versions for both of them. If I specify the versions in dependency management, I should only have to specify the non-classifier version. The dependency with the classifier should default to the same version as the one without the dependency. This would save a lot of extra configuration for some projects.
