Description

Given the following projects and dependencies:
Project A -> Project B -> Project C

If Project B defines:
<dependency>
<groupId>ProjectC</groupId>
<artifact>ProjectC</artifact>
<version>1.0</version>
<classifier>${target.classifier}</classifier>
</dependency>

And the settings.xml contains:
<profile>
...
<properties>
<target.classifier>someclassifier</target.classifier>
</properties>
...
</profile>

Where the profile in question is the active profile.

Project B will build fine.
Project A will fail, with:
Failure to find ProjectC:ProjectC:${target.classifier}:1.0
