Revision 757922

o i can now in a simple way get the lifecycle plan for a particular task
o the tests need to be simplified, possibly use the jxpath technique to make the test more concise
o the API still needs some work, and we still need to be able to adapt the lifecycle in context -- my particular use case is running inside eclipse and essentially disabling all but what is required to run inside eclipse. we don't need to compile, test or package for example
