Maven dependency with classifier not resolved correctly in vscode

[GaZaTu]

I have a Maven dependency with <type>jar</type> and <classifier>idl</classifier> but instead of my -idl.jar classes being resolved in vscode, it's actually the classes of the main artifact that are visible. When i build the project with mvn install or w/e on the CLI, it's working correctly.

Environment

• Operating System: openSUSE Leap 42.2
• JDK version: 11.0.8, 2020-07-14
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.50.0, 2020-10-07
• Java extension version: 0.72.0, [2020-12-02]

Steps To Reproduce

1. create 2 maven projects
2. use some plugin to export a jar with a different classifier (tests for example) in project 1
3. import project 1 in project 2 with that classifier
4. try to import a class that's only visible in that classifier

Is the linked issue (#2911) related? Does the note there (“This is a limitation of JDT, nothing we can do about it”) also apply here?
