-------------------------------------
kwin merged PR #896:
URL: https://github.com/apache/maven/pull/896
> Clarify documentation of extension descriptor
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-7609
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7609
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Konrad Windszus
> Priority: Major
>
> The extension descriptor is documented in
> https://maven.apache.org/ref/3-LATEST/maven-core/extension.html based on the
> MDO file at
> https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/master/maven-core/src/main/mdo/extension.mdo.
> It is lacking important information such as
> - how are subpackages and wildcards handled in {{exportedPackages}}?
> - how can one export individual classes via {{exportedPackages}} (compare
> with
> https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/c6ecff9923088d854d4621e17d602f1c70dda806/maven-core/src/main/mdo/extension.mdo#L50)
> - how are {{exportedPackages}} and {{exportedArtifacts}} related? Are they
> just merged or are they combined in some other way?
> The better extension descriptor documentation should finally be linked also
> from
> https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/master/maven-core/src/site/apt/core-extensions.apt.vm,
> as well as from
> https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-maven-classloading.html#API_Classloader
> and https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-using-extensions.html
