-------------------------------
Summary: Add ability to easily retrieve core extensions from
alternative pluginRepository
Key: MNG-6327
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6327
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Bootstrap & Build
Reporter: Matt Biggs
If you define an extension in *.mvn/extensions.xml* it is automatically
retrieved and installed when you first build but ONLY if it is present in maven
central.
I understand it's obviously a little 'chicken and egg' scenario but it would be
really useful for making a seamless out of the box experience if it could
either a) read the pom and use the pluginRepositories from there, or b) if you
could perhaps specify the repository inside the extensions.xml file?
The only work around I can currently find is to ask the user to add an active
profile to their settings.xml which obviously isn't as nice.
