mike duigou commented on MNG-5897:
----------------------------------

This would be a useful enhancement!

Be aware that more generality of the core extensions mechanism is also needed to support multi-module and aggregator projects. (See MNG-6995)

> Currently you can configure using an extensions via {{.mvn/extensions.xml}} to load it. 
> But at the moment the only possibility to configure your extensions (or control behaviour) is via system properties like {{-Dwhatever=...}}.
> It would be convenient to make configuration possible in {{.mvn/extensions.xml}} like the plugin configuration are in pom file...
> {code:xml}
> <extensions xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/EXTENSIONS/1.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
>   xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/EXTENSIONS/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/core-extensions-1.0.0.xsd">
>   <extension>
>     <groupId/>
>     <artifactId/>
>     <version/>
>     <configuration>
>      <parameter>...</parameter>
>    </configuration>
>   </extension>
> </extensions>
> {code}
> with some kind of replacements like in the pom.xml file (like {{$\{project.basedir}}} etc.) ? 
> This could make the usage of extensions much more convenient...
