Sounds great :)
I recently helped out on a Maven 2 plugin for RetroTranslator. An
invaluable way to help figure out how to write m2 plugins is to see
how others have done similar things. The Mojo project has lots of
different plugins that you can get good ideas from to see how m2
works etc.
https://svn.mojo.codehaus.org/mojo/trunk/mojo/
e.g. take a look at the castor plugin for inspiration :)
Incidentally if it helps any, there's an m1 and m2 build using JAXB 2
here...
