[m2e-users] Using lifecycle mapping from extension as well as from plugi

[Konrad Windszus <konrad_w@xxxxxx>]

If a lifecycle mapping for the same plugin is contributed by both an m2e extension as well as the plugin itself the extension will take precedence (http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/m2e-users/msg05446.html).

But what about the use case where an extension just wants to configure an additional project configurator for the same packaging or some goals. Is it somehow possible that both lifecycle mappings get merged?

How do I need to devise the lifecycle-mapping.xml in my extension so that it does not interfere with actions being provided by the plugin itself?

Thanks,

Konrad
