* <p>
 * This interface allows plugins and extensions to define and register additional packaging types
 * beyond the standard ones provided by Maven (like jar, war, ear, etc.). Implementations of this
 * interface will be discovered through the Java ServiceLoader mechanism and their provided
 * packaging types will be available throughout the Maven build process.
 * <p>
 * Example usage:

 * The packaging type determines the structure of the project's output and how Maven will treat the resulting artifact.</p>
 *
 * <p>Common packaging types include {@code jar}, {@code war}, {@code pom}, {@code maven-plugin}, {@code ear}, and others.
 * These types influence various aspects of the build lifecycle, such as which plugins are executed and how dependencies are managed.</p>

            The type of artifact this project produces, for example {@code jar},
              {@code war},
              {@code ear},
              {@code pom}.
            Plugins can create their own packaging, and
            therefore their own packaging types,
            so this list does not contain all possible types.
