@Avery-Dunn - isn't the extension released with every MSAL version? IMO we should release it in a similar fashion as the broker package (same repo, same version etc.)

[Avery-Dunn]

@bgavrilMS : No, the extensions package has always been in a separate repo, and looking at it now has gotten very out of date: https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-extensions-for-java

It was before my time on the team so I don't know the reason for it being separate. However, I think it would make sense to move it to this repo (Maven allows relocating projects) and following what we did for the broker package (though we'd need to find any docs and other references first)

Forgot to close this at the time, but in https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-java/pull/807 the extensions package was moved to this repo, and a new 1.3.0 version was released to update the dependencies.
