Description

I'm working on a multi-module build and a custom plugin in that build should contribute custom lifecycle and packaging type. Everything works as expected only if I install the plugin in advance and fails resolve the build extension despite the fact that it's a module that is a part of the project. If the custom plugin is not specified as extension then everything works as expected. Here is simple test that showcases the issue:

/pom.xml

</project>

/consumer/pom.xml

<build>

<plugin>
<groupId>com.foo</groupId>
<artifactId>extension</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<extensions>true</extensions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

</project>

The above project produces the following error:
[ERROR] Unresolveable build extension: Plugin com.foo:extension:1.0.0 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failure to find com.foo:extension:jar:1.0.0 in...

Is this behavior expected? Is there a workaround?
