Hi guys,
I would like to modify a bit the Maven XAR plugin to add in the
package.xml some extension related informations like the extension id
and version at the very least.
Why not package the pom.xml instead in META-INF/maven/* as it's done by the Maven JAR
plugin?
It would be more generic and similar to how JARs are handled.
Thanks

The idea is to be able to know what a XAR is
exactly like we have the
pom.xml packaged with the jar file for example.
Among other things it will cover the following use cases:
* when someone import a XAR with the standard UI, automatically
register it in the extension index if it happen to be an extension
(i.e. if we find extension informations in its package.xml)
* wiki manager and workspaces can properly register actual extension
when creating their default template from a XAR the first time (this
is for example required to be able to upgrade a farm with EM where
pretty much all the wiki as been created from this default template)
In both cases the idea is to support as much current behaviours as we
can and still be able to use the full power of Extension Manager.
There should not be any backward compatibility issue here since it
does not really change anything in the XAR structure.
WDYT ?
Here is my +1
