    Description

      Create a project which has dependencies like:

          <dependencies>
        <dependency>  
            <groupId>com.xxx</groupId>  
            <artifactId>mydep</artifactId>  
            <version>1.3.1</version>            
            <classifier>core</classifier>  
        </dependency>
        <dependency>  
            <groupId>com.xxx</groupId>  
            <artifactId>mydep</artifactId>  
            <version>1.3.1</version>            
            <classifier>util</classifier> 
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

      This will add dependencies to the javadoc options file something like this:

      classpath
      'C:/dev/target/classes;c:/repository/com/xxx/mydep/1.3.1/mydep-1.3.1-core.jar;c:/repository/com/xxx/mydep/1.3.1/mydep-1.3.1-core.jar'

      where it should yield:

      classpath
      'C:/dev/target/classes;c:/repository/com/xxx/mydep/1.3.1/mydep-1.3.1-core.jar;c:/repository/com/xxx/mydep/1.3.1/mydep-1.3.1-util.jar'

      i.e. the classifier for the artifacts is being ignored. This causes various dependencies to be missing from the javadoc task which will eventually fail with:
