+1 ! We discussed this at some point on dev@sling ( https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/rb477b7429b38f1a8ba40c70ddd6f837d91f41964496a7b72b9979c13%40%3Cdev.sling.apache.org%3E ) , but I never ended up writing a Jira for it.

> The feature model allows extensions in text format, the most used right now is the repoinit extension which is a script in DSL. Writing this in the feature model json format is not user friendly as json properties do not support newlines. We made this a little bit easier with allowing an array of strings instead, but still not user friendly.
> We can provide better support for maven based projects by enhancing the maven plugin. 
> If an extension of type text is specified in the feature model with the value "@file", the plugin looks for a file in the same directory as the feature model. The file must have the same name as the feature file followed by a dash and the name of the extension.
> For example:
> Feature file: src/main/features/myfeature.json
> Repoinit : src/main/features/myfeature-repoinit.txt
> (Regarding SLING-9721 it might make sense to support different extensions for the file than txt, so we could enhance this and allow that the "classifier and extension is specified by the @file like @file:xssapi.xml which then would look for a file name src/main/features/myfeature-xssapi.xml - but @file should work as well)
> The JSON format of a feature is not changed / enhanced - we just make authoring in maven projects easier.
