Description

I'm attempting to use the new .mvn/extensions.xml feature to load the takari smart builder. I get the following error:

Downloading: REDACTED/nexus/content/groups/public/io/takari/maven/takari-smart-builder/0.4.0/takari-smart-builder-0.4.0.pom
[WARNING] Failed to read extensions descriptor /home/carej/sandbox/sccStandalone/solutions-root/.mvn/extensions.xml: Plugin io.takari.maven:takari-smart-builder:0.4.0 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to read artifact descriptor for io.takari.maven:takari-smart-builder:jar:0.4.0

After some initial discussion on the developer mailing list it seems that this might be related to using mirrorOf=* against our corporate repository, which requires authentication.
