My suggestion that still seems to satisfy all requirements is:

• make type only be primary artifact types, and dependency.type = pom.type
• add derivative to the dependency element. Valid derivatives are defined by the artifact handler
• allow the artifact handler to generate any of its derivatives as controlled by properties to that plugin
• unique identifier for a project remains groupId:artifactId:type
• filename for a derivative is /groupId/types/artifactId-derivative-version.type by default where derivative is optional.
• artifact handlers can define custom repo filename mappers to change the filename as necessary. The only use fo this I see is to change the extension: so maybe the artifact handler just defines an extension instead.

Firstly, we must be able to customise the artifact name in the repository, in the filename. David and Emmanuel have demonstrated this clearly in emails today. ie ejbs should be built to /ejbs/foo-1.0.jar and /ejbs/foo-1.0-client.jar. the jars directory is for jars that are not special, not for wars, ejbs, etc.
