Description

Maven plugins overriding the default lifecycle mapping for a certain type require to be configured with <extensions>true</extensions> (https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Plugins). The report goal though will always generate a usage section for plugin-info.html without setting this flag.

It should be configurable as optional goal parameter of https://maven.apache.org/plugin-tools/maven-plugin-plugin/report-mojo.html whether the plugin should be loaded with extensions or not.
