Description

I have the following dependency:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.querydsl</groupId>
      <artifactId>querydsl-jpa</artifactId>
    </dependency>

And I need to add a classifier to it but the following is invalid:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.querydsl</groupId>
      <artifactId>querydsl-jpa</artifactId>
      <classifier>jakarta</classifier>
    </dependency>

So, to add this classifier, I also need to add a version manually instead of relying on the managed dependency's version.
