 * Example usage:
 * <pre>
 * public class CustomLifecycleProvider implements LifecycleProvider {
 *     public Collection&lt;Lifecycle&gt; provides() {
 *         return Collections.singleton(
 *             lifecycle("deploy-docker", Arrays.asList(
 *                 "build-image",
 *                 "tag-image",

 * in the plugin, Maven will provide a default implementation that will parse
 * the file and return the contained lifecycle definitions.
