Description

try and resolve extensions only when they might be required. Currently, even clean:clean would resolve an extension for the project (not that projects will often have an extension, but this is still undesirable, especially if it is a snapshot).

Issue Links

relates to

Bug - A problem which impairs or prevents the functions of the product. MNG-1911 Building plugins with extensions in a reactor fails

  • Critical - Crashes, loss of data, severe memory leak.
  • Open - The issue is open and ready for the assignee to start work on it.

By this do you mean looking at something like an SCM url, or a distributionManagement url and pulling in the right extension?

no, this is just a matter of reviewing how extensions are loaded into the core, and if there is any way to ensure they are only resolved/loaded when they'll actually be needed (in the same way dependencies are). It's annoying to have to resolve them to do "clean" for example.

I wouldn't say this is major at all.

given extensions are still supported in 3.0, will put it in to review in 3.1 when some of the deprecated functionality gets removed
