Description

When creating a new Quarkus project, if you reach the extensions picker, the wizard fetches the extensions list per the selected platform. Now if you go back one step to change something, then reach the extension picker once more, a new http query is performed, which should not be necessary at that point. Within a single project creation workflow, extensions should be cached per platform, so as to avoid unnecessary http roundtrips.

Research direction

Start at the project creation workflow's extensions picker and trace where the extensions list is fetched for the selected platform. Confirm the workflow can reuse a previously fetched list when returning to the picker, while fetching separately for other platforms. Done means repeated navigation within one workflow no longer causes an unnecessary HTTP request.
