    Description

      Currently, if I have two dependencies on the same groupId:artifactId, one with a classifier and one without, the missing version error message does not distinguish which dependency is missing a version. For example, the following pom is missing a version number for one of the dependencies.

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"  
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
        <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId>
        <artifactId>missing-version-error</artifactId>
        <packaging>jar</packaging>
        <name>Missing version error</name>
        <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
        
        <dependencies>
          <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId>
            <artifactId>myartifact1</artifactId>
            <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
          </dependency>
          <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId>
            <artifactId>myartifact1</artifactId>
            <classifier>test</classifier>
          </dependency>
        </dependencies>
      </project>
      

      The error message prints the following:

      Validation Messages:
      
          [0]  'dependencies.dependency.version' is missing for org.apache.maven:myartifact1
      

      The error message should include information about the dependency's classifier.
