   Since a while Tycho is going more and more "maven-like" so today even more Tycho artifacts approaching at maven-central.
   
   In some circumstances this leads to strange problems, because Dependencies have a type (usually the packaging type) but artifacts have an extension (where different packaging types often map to the same extension), and maven only includes a few mappings by default users currently need to enable an extension so that this works.
   
   This adds a new default mapping so this type can be used smoothly in maven.
   
   Following this checklist to help us incorporate your
   contribution quickly and easily:
   
    - [x] Make sure there is a [JIRA issue](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG) filed
          for the change (usually before you start working on it).  Trivial changes like typos do not
          require a JIRA issue. Your pull request should address just this issue, without
          pulling in other changes.
    - [x] Each commit in the pull request should have a meaningful subject line and body.
    - [x] Format the pull request title like `[MNG-XXX] SUMMARY`,
          where you replace `MNG-XXX` and `SUMMARY` with the appropriate JIRA issue.
    - [x] Also format the first line of the commit message like `[MNG-XXX] SUMMARY`.
          Best practice is to use the JIRA issue title in both the pull request title and in the first line of the commit message.
    - [x] Write a pull request description that is detailed enough to understand what the pull request does, how, and why.
    - [ ] Run `mvn clean verify` to make sure basic checks pass. A more thorough check will
          be performed on your pull request automatically.
    - [ ] You have run the [Core IT][core-its] successfully.

> Since a while Tycho is going more and more "maven-like" so today even more Tycho artifacts approaching at maven-central.
> In some circumstances this leads to strange problems, because Dependencies have a *type* (usually the packaging type) but artifacts have an *extension* (where different packaging types often map to the same extension), and maven only includes a few mappings by default users currently need to enable an extension so that this works.
> I therefore like to gently ask adding a mapping to the default maven supported list that maps tycho-plugin (*type*) -> jar (*extension*).
> It would be great if it could be included in maven 3.9.0 (would be a good argument to move on to newer maven version for our users!)!
