**[Fabrice Bacchella](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=fbacchella)** opened **[MDEP-688](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-688?redirect=false)** and commented
I have a dependency on dojo-toolkit that says:
```xml
org.dojotoolkit
dojo
zip
${dojo.version}
distribution
```
This is a multi-module project, and this is declared in a sub-module.
When I try to run it, it fails with:
```
$ mvn dependency:go-offline
...
[INFO] Downloading from central: https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/dojotoolkit/dojo/1.10.8/dojo-1.10.8.zip
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:3.1.2:go-offline (default-cli) on project jrds-webapp: org.eclipse.aether.resolution.DependencyResolutionException: Could not find artifact org.dojotoolkit:dojo:zip:1.10.8 in central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2) -> [Help 1]
```
When I do a simple build:
```
mvn install

```
The URL is not the same, mvn install did resolve the good file (dojo-1.10.8-distribution.zip) where dependency:go-offline only sees dojo-1.10.8-distribution.zip.

Research direction
Start at the dependency:go-offline goal and compare its artifact resolution with the simple mvn install shown in the report. Reproduce the multi-module dependency using the zip classifier, then verify that go-offline resolves dojo-1.10.8-distribution.zip instead of the unclassified artifact.
