James Z.M. Gao commented on MNG-6327:
-------------------------------------

[~zebbedi], MNG-6392 should be a solution for this issue, put the pluginRepository in a profile in the new project settings and check in the git source.

> If you define an extension in *.mvn/extensions.xml* it is automatically retrieved and installed when you first build but ONLY if it is present in maven central. 
> I understand it's obviously a little 'chicken and egg' scenario but it would be really useful for making a seamless out of the box experience if it could either a) read the pom and use the pluginRepositories from there, or b) if you could perhaps specify the repository inside the extensions.xml file?
> The only work around I can currently find is to ask the user to add an active profile to their settings.xml which obviously isn't as nice.
