Allow several synonymous main artifacts, e.g. zip and tar.gz, just like you can
have with a classifier

Key: MNG-3515
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3515
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: David Jencks
It's possible for a project to generate several synonymous main artifacts that
are different packagings of the same content. The specific case I ran across
is in https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/activemq/branches/activemq-4.1 assembly
module rev 646965.
The build happily constructs apache-activemq-4.1-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz/tar.bz2/zip
artifacts in target but does not install or deploy them. However if I add a
"bin" classifier all the artifacts are installed/deployed.
Another possible example that jdcasey suggested would be a project that
constructs both dll and so files.
I don't see how this could introduce any ambiguity since any dependency on a
non-jar artifact has to AFAIK specify the type explicitly.
