> I would assume some kind of implicit inheritance wrt to extensions. Another way would be to create a realm that would have visibility on all extensions of the build and use that one for the whole build duration. I don't think all extensions should share the same class-space, especially with projects-scoped extension (in contrast to core-extension) they started to become only active after a while, there is a bootstrap phase in maven when there is actually no such thing like "project", also as explained before you most probably don't want that an extension magically becomes active just because another module defines it. If you like that an extension applies for all projects then it should be defined as a core-extension in `.mvn/extensions.xml` so they become part of the bootstrap-process. Thats also the reason why only core-extensions can participate in session-start because at that point there are no projects and thus any project-scoped extension is simply not accessible. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
