1) put the components bit in components.xml for your compiler JAR
2) add your jar as a dependency within the compiler plugin element in build
3) add the compilerId configuration to the compiler plugin
So, untested, but something like this:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<compilerId>mycustomcompiler</compilerId>
</configuration>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.mycompany</groupId>
<artifactId>my-custom-compiler</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
