Perhaps this question was more appropriate to the dev list.
Anyway, I figure out how and wanted to share it with you in case someone
ever needs something like this.
The mistery is in defining a new ArtifactHandler to provide the desired
extension. This artifact handler will have to be declared in the
components.xml file for the plugin.
Hope it helps someone in the future.
cheers.
