Converting a Maven 1 project into Maven 2 - apache

Question

I'm new to Maven, and have been running into some difficulty in a project. I am to convert a Maven 1 project into Maven 2.
I started with these files:
maven.xml -- contains custom build scripts
project.properties -- general build settings
project.xml -- Project Object Model (POM) definition
From my understanding, Maven 2 project I must move these files into these:
pom.xml -- POM definition
(and possibly) settings.xml -- local configuration
I have gone about this by using the command 'mvn one:convert'.
This seemed to take care of project.xml > pom.xml
I then added a to pom.xml to include project.properties (which seemed to work).
Am I right in assuming that all I have left is to transfer over the contents of maven.xml >> pom.xml ?
maven.xml starts with:
<project default="site_deploy"
xmlns:ant="jelly:ant"
xmlns:maven="jelly:maven"
xmlns:j="jelly:core"
xmlns:util="jelly:util">
<ant:property environment="env"/>
and contains contains goals such as:
<goal name="site_deploy">
<attainGoal name="clean"/>
<attainGoal name="clean:clean"/>
<ant:delete dir="${maven.src.dir}/core/target" />
<attainGoal name="core_deploy"/>
</goal>
<goal name="core">
<maven:maven
descriptor="core/project.xml"
goals="jar:install"/>
<ant:property name="m2Dir" value="${maven.repo.local}/../../.m2/repository/app/${application.version}"/>
<ant:property name="m1Path" value="${maven.repo.local}/${application.id}/jars/${application.id}-core-${application.version}.jar"/>
<ant:echo message="copying jar m1 to m2 (${m1Path}) to (${m2Dir})" />
<ant:mkdir dir="${m2Dir}"/>
<ant:copy todir="${m2Dir}" file="${m1Path}" />
</goal>
From my reading if not bound to any build phase, goals can be executed outside of the build lifecycle by direct invocation, the second way being to write plugins for the goals.
How would I identify if the goals have dependencies-- how would I go about writing a plug-in? I've been referring mostly to the maven guides on apache.org, but some of it is hard to follow.
Here is the pom file generated:
