Custom Lifecycle


Hello,

We are trying to define a custom lifecycle for our nightly build.  We 
basically want it to have the following phases:

1.  run-build
2.  process-build-results
3.  report-build-results

The idea is that we will have a separate nightly build maven project that 
runs the nightly build.  In "run-build", we would use the maven invoker 
plugin to run "mvn deploy" on another project.  In "process-build-results" 
we would parse the test results and put them in format suitable for 
emailing.  In "report-build-results" we would send out an email with the 
test results and generate and deploy the maven site.

I've tried doing this by creating a lifecycle.xml and components.xml in my 
nightly build plugin and enabling extensions for the plugin in my nightly 
build project.  However, it does not seem to be working.  It seems like I 
must be missing something, but I'm not sure what it is.

Do you have any idea what it might be? 

I really could not find much documentation on how to create a custom 
lifecycle.  I tried to follow what's in 
http://www.sonatype.com/books/maven-book/reference/writing-plugins-sect-custom-lifecycle.html
.

I've attached watered-down versions of the projects for the plugin and the 
nightly build, including their pom.xml files and the lifecycle.xml and 
components.xml. 

The error I am seeing is:

We're using maven 2.1.0 with Java 1.5.0

Thanks for any help you can provide.
