Currently any type is supported for downloading but other than that
there is no support. By this I mean you can specify something like the
following:

<dependency>
  <groupId>foo</groupId>
  <artifactId>bar</artifactId>
  <type>war</type>
  <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

And maven will look for foo/wars/bar-1.0.war in the remote repository
and put it in your local repository but any support further than that is
not implemented. For example there is no way to put an arbitrary type
into the classpath and no way to generate a dependency path in Jelly for
artifacts other than JARs. Michal has implemented a mechanism that is in
the maven-new code and I will backport it into Maven but currently full
and completel support for arbitrary artifact types is limited.
