Kenney Westerhof commented on MNG-2771:
---------------------------------------
There are currently 3 ways this works in 2.1-SNAPSHOT.
The first way is to place extension jars in $M2_HOME/extensions/. The jars
there,
and the component.xml's will override previous declarations.
It's also possible to just edit/create the file
$M2_HOME/extensions/META-INF/plexus/components.xml,
and put jars in $M2_HOME/lib/.
The second mechanism involves the <extensions> tag in the pom. Components
defined
in dependencies there will also override previous declarations.
The problem with this right now is that they override the components for the
entire reactor,
while they should only override them for the duration of the build of that
specific project.
The third mechanism involves adding <dependencies> to <plugin> declarations in
a pom. Components
defined there will override both components in the plugin, and in the core, but
only when they're looked
up within the plugin context, so their scope is properly confined.
More elaborate systems could ofcourse be deviced, but I think the current
solutions provide for everything
needed, once the 2nd approach is fixed. You'll have the 3 options above:
- maven global overrides
- per project overrides
- per plugin overrides.

> At times, it is necessary to use different mechanisms for resolving
> artifacts, building projects, etc. Since Maven is built on component-oriented
> technology, it should be possible to substitute the component implementation
> used for these tasks. Yet this is currently impossible.
> We need a mechanism for specifying, resolving, loading, and using custom
> components during the build process.
