It's really simpler than one might think. Just read this. We're starting to put more and more of our generic build-procedures in plugins and it works just the way you want it.
Uh, the document seems to forget how to install a plugin if you have it as a separate project. Just do maven plugin:install.
For example, we've got a generic build-project that first installs the plugins we've done (for things like generating InstallAnywhere-stuff, building .war-files and so on). This project can also kick of a reactor that builds all our projects in the correct order (dependency-wise). Put that in your crontab and you basically don't even need CruiseControl any longer. It generates web-sites for all projects and you could easily write an email-plugin that mails the results. Only problem is that I can't get it to build the web-site after compile-errors.
