Executing a goal that doesn't need a pom but that need some extensions is
impossible.

Key: MNG-2368
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2368
Project: Maven 2
Type: Bug
Components: Settings
Versions: 2.0.4
Reporter: Alexandre Poitras
There is no way to specify extensions in settings.xml. This is a problem when
you want to execute a goal without a pom but that need an extension. One basic
case is archetype:create when the archetype is located on a ftp repository. At
the moment, you need to perform the command using a fake pom declaring the
extension. In my opinion, this is a big gotcha for novice users.
