> The extension descriptor is documented in https://maven.apache.org/ref/3-LATEST/maven-core/extension.html based on the MDO file at https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/master/maven-core/src/main/mdo/extension.mdo.
> It is lacking important information such as
> - how are subpackages and wildcards handled in {{exportedPackages}}?
> - how can one export individual classes via {{exportedPackages}} (compare with https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/c6ecff9923088d854d4621e17d602f1c70dda806/maven-core/src/main/mdo/extension.mdo#L50)
> - how are {{exportedPackages}} and {{exportedArtifacts}} related? Are they just merged or are they combined in some other way?
> The better extension descriptor documentation should finally be linked also from https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/master/maven-core/src/site/apt/core-extensions.apt.vm, as well as from https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-maven-classloading.html#API_Classloader and https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-using-extensions.html
