> Key: MNG-7772
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7772
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Roy Teeuwen
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 4.0.x-candidate

>
> Currently the way to register a maven core extension is described here:
> [https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-using-extensions.html]
> Namely the following ways are supported:
> * Registered via extension jar in {{${maven.home}/lib/ext}}
> * Registered via CLI argument {{mvn -Dmaven.ext.class.path=extension.jar}}
> * Registered via [{{.mvn/extensions.xml}}
> file|https://maven.apache.org/configure.html#mvn-extensions-xml-file]
> The downside of this is that the ${maven.home} directory is not something
> that you should touch, seeing as with every update of maven (through for
> example homebrew), it will replace the directory with the new version, making
> it required to manually re-register the core extension by dragging the jar in
> /lib/ext.
> My proposal is to also make it possible to register the extension through the
> ${user.home}/.m2 directory. This could for example be by also allowing the
> extensions.xml in the .m2 directory or by creating an ext directory in the
> .m2 directory.
