generateLibrariesJson doesn't respect dependency classifier/extension

[Galster-dev]

Exported dependency coords do not include classifiers and extensions. This leads to some bugs, e.g. server trying to download jar artifact for pom dependency (with PluginLoader implementation presented in README)

My personal workaround atm is exporting artifacts instead of dependencies, but you may not like it because of increased JSON file size.

Could we just filter out pom dependencies completely?

[Galster-dev]

Some pom dependencies are meta packages containing a few jar artifacts

[Galster-dev]

My actual issue happened with InvUi (pom available here). This dependency unfolds to inventory-access-{r1-r14} and invui-core which are jar artifacts and required at runtime.

[stephan-gh]

How would you expect to handle these on the PluginLoader side? Does it provide the necessary functionality to parse & handle metadata packages?

[Galster-dev]

Yes, DefaultArtifact has both constructors with classifiers/extension and can parse it from a single so called "coords" string (format available here)
