AFAIK you don't have to do anything - just produce the additional jars
with the classifier in the name - its people who consume it who
specifiy the classifier - for example say you produce an additional
jar called commons-dbcp-1.3-jdbc3.jar then if someone wanted to use
that rather than the standard commons-dbcp-1.3.jar then they would
specify the dependency as follows:
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-dbcp</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-dbcp</artifactId>
<version>1.3</version>
<classifier>jdbc3</classifier>
</dependency>
Haven't read it, but also found this:
