Robert Scholte commented on MNG-6450:
-------------------------------------
What I don't understand is the benefit of this change. If the BOM is a module
of the project, it will at least be verified by Maven. When it is an attached
it could be any kind of file. BOMs are especially interesting to deliver as
part of multimodule project, so 1 extra module shouldn't do any harm.
> Allow importing a POM with a classifier

> Key: MNG-6450
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6450
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Dependencies, POM
> Affects Versions: 3.0
> Reporter: Yegor Borovikov
> Priority: Major
> Labels: easy-fix, pull-request-available
>
> Currently, a POM-packaged artifact with a classifier cannot be imported -
> there is an explicit check for that in
> [DefaultModelValidator|https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/master/maven-model-builder/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/model/validation/DefaultModelValidator.java#L480].
> I couldn't find anything in Maven documentation that would mention/explain
> this limitation. According to [~rfscholte] this [might
> be|https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg114101.html]
> "historical".
> Example use case: a BOM (bill of materials) plugin could generate a BOM POM
> and attach it (with a classifier) to the project. However, currently there's
> no way to import the generated BOM because of the restriction.
