------------------------------------

             Summary: Plugin descriptor should indicate if plugin has Maven extensions
                 Key: MNG-7572
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7572
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Plugin API
            Reporter: Konrad Windszus


Currently each consumer needs to decide if a Maven plugin should be loaded with extensions or without by setting the extensions value accordingly (https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Plugins).
Instead the plugin descriptor should have a flag which indicates whether the plugin has extensions to load which should be automatically evaluated.
That flag should determine the default behaviour for loading extensions (which can still be overridden for edge cases in the pom referencing the plugin with extensions element).
