Default Artifact Handlers Reference
Artifact handlers (see API) define for each dependency type information on the artifact (classifier, extension, language) and how to manage it as dependency (add to classpath, include dependencies).
Some artifact handlers are configured by default in META-INF/plexus/artifact-handlers.xml:
| type | classifier | extension | packaging | language | added to classpath | includesDependencies |
