Yuri commented on MNG-5820: --------------------------- I am wondering why such change would break backwards compatibility. Wouldn't this mean basically a new, optional <extensions> element along side <servers/>, <profiles/> etc? {code:xml} <extensions> <extension> <groupId>io.takari.polyglot</groupId> <artifactId>polyglot-ruby</artifactId> <version>0.1.5</version> </extension> </extensions> {code} > Allow extensions in settings.xml > -------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-5820 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5820 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Bootstrap & Build > Affects Versions: 3.3.1 > Reporter: Yuri > Priority: Minor > Fix For: Issues to be reviewed for 4.x > > > Since 3.3.1, we are now allowed to specify extensions in the > projectBaseDir/.mvn/extensions.xml. This is great on it's own, but I have a > case where repo urls are externalized to ~/.m2/settings.xml and these urls > require an extension. Right now, the url and the extension that goes along > with it are managed in two completely different places. > Ideally, I would like to see the option to add an extension to our existing > ~/.m2/settings.xml. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
