Qualifiers Definition

Key	Requirement	Native name	Default Value	Description
classifier	Optional	classifier		The maven classifier as defined in the POM documentation.
type	Optional	type	jar	The maven type as defined in the POM documentation. Note that Maven uses a concept / coordinate called packaging which does not map directly 1:1 to a file extension. In this use case, we need to construct a link to one of many possible artifacts. Maven itself uses type in a dependency declaration when needed to disambiguate between them.
