As Stephen mentioned, the naming convention for non-core plugins is
xyz-maven-plugin.

You can add the group id in settings.xml so that the mvn plugin:goal
syntax works.  (This is where a "custom" Maven distribution comes in--
replace settings.xml with one that has your internal repositories and
plugin groups.)

Another option is to submit the plugin to the Codehaus Mojo project,
if it's something that would be useful to others and your company will
allow it.

AFAIK you should call it

jcar-maven-plugin

AFAIK only plugins with the groupId org.apache.maven.plugins are allowed to
use the maven-______-plugin pattern

You should also look into the plugin goal prefix pararmeter and adding your
groupId to the plugin search stuff in settings.xml
