[m2] extending maven

[Chris Eldredge <ch...@comcast.net>]

Hello Maven developers,

I'm writing a tool that will invoke maven directly and I'd like to know 
how I can extend maven in a few key areas:

- Attach my own EventMonitor implementation
- Extend the Release plugin

Suppose I'm writing a GUI that guides a user through a release.  First I 
need to kick of the release process and let maven figure out which 
modules need to have versions assigned to them.  I'd like to capture 
that information and use my own GUI to allow the user to specify this 
information, then feed the answers back into Maven.

So far I've only found 
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/components/trunk/maven-core/src/main/resources/META-INF/plexus/components.xml

But I don't see where I can provide my own EventMonitor impl or extend 
the release plugin.  Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris Eldredge
