Jesse, Thanks for the explanation. To make it clearer, can you show me what the extension tag would look like in this case?

But the way the plugin was built you can't just declare every database driver as a dependency of the plugin...that would mean people would need to download oracle drivers and install them just to use mysql.. so you use extensions so that you can insert the database driver code at runtime of the plugin.. does that case clear up what extensions can be used for? jesse On 9/22/05, dohadwala, moiz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am new to maven and have decided to take the plunge with m2.
