Allow extension plugins to contribute non-core components to be reused by other
plugins
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4381
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4381
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Plugins and Lifecycle
Affects Versions: 2.x
Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann
In Maven 2.x, build extensions can only contribute components that realize a
custom impl of some API defined by the Maven core like artifact handlers and
lifecycle mappings. However, to support things like Tycho in a stock Maven
distro, we need a build extension to provide components that
a) realize APIs defined merely by the extension and are unknown to Maven itself
b) can be looked up and accessed via API from the extension and other plugins
in the same project
c) can be shared among all projects in the reactor using the same extension,
including state kept by singletons
