Oh, well I would have a use case for it. I am currently working on bringing more and more parts of Apache Flex from Ant to Maven. Here in a lot of places I have dependencies that are not yet available as Maven artifacts. While I managed to get in contact with quite some of the people maintaining those projects and to publish some of them at Maven Central, there still are quite some where my only solution is to have them downloaded via ANT and use scope=system for that, but I really hate that.
For the FlexSDK I created a maven extension which intercepts Mavens dependency resolution requests and if not being able to resolve, it manually produces maven artifacts. Now I thought it would be great to have a Maven extension that does this on a simpler basis, but on a more generic basis. I would like to define the extension in the extensions.xml file, but provide it with the configuration to produce the missing artifacts on the fly. I was thinking of reading a config file, located relative to the extensions.xml, but would prefer the configuration in the extensions.xml option. I would be happy to be of assistance, but first I have to start and finish another thing I volunteered for first :-) Chris On 2016-07-05 18:48 (+0200), Igor Fedorenko <i...@ifedorenko.com> wrote: > The latter.
