Description

For the extend tag, we can support http protocol, or another syntax like this <extend>${repo}/aGroupId/poms/anArtifactId-version.pom</extend>. Personally, I prefer the second solution.

With this features, users can share default pom parameter between all their projects, and it prepare the introduction of pom V4.

I don't think we should change the behaviour of maven that much. We could enforce the idea that John Casey came up with when uploading artifacts so that the <extend> element it changes to the form that was suggested.

I also think this would be a nice feature extension for Maven 1.1.
I created a patch for the current 1.1-beta3-SNAPSHOT, which parses the string in <extend>${maven.repo.local}/aGroupId/poms/anArtifactId-version.pom</extend>
and tries to download "aGroupId/poms/anArtifactId-version.pom" with the common artifact-download-mechanism from the specified remote repositories to the local repository. It works fine. It also supports the SNAPSHOT mechanism.
IMHO this change is not very invasive.
