The plugins can also be used from outside EL4J, they are in our repository. Here's a sample config for your pom.xml file: 

  <pluginRepository>
    <id>elca-services</id>
    <url>http://el4.elca-services.ch/el4j/maven2repository</url>
    <releases>
     <enabled>true</enabled>
    </releases>
  </pluginRepository>

The individual plugins can then be set up as follows:

  <plugins>
    [...]
    <plugin>
