I have a situation where I need to download all the classifiers in a GAV as part of my WAR bundle.

However, when I add the dependencies they don’t show up in the final build product. You’ll notice there are several DLLs as classifiers.

pom.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

</project>

Command and output:

 mvn --batch-mode clean install

I need these DLLs as part of the bundle and (eventually) I need them automatically as part of the System library path
