I did, but took a slightly different appoach. It works for me (so far at 
least):

Take this pom:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi=
"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation=
"http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 
http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd";>
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <parent>
        <groupId>au.com.warpspeed</groupId>
        <artifactId>warpspeed-dynamic-parent</artifactId>
        <version>1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </parent>
    <groupId>au.com.warpspeed</groupId>
    <artifactId>build-tools</artifactId>
    <packaging>jar</packaging>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <name>WarpSpeed Build Tools Extension</name>
    <description>Provides resources to aid the common maven build.</
description>
</project>

I have created this dir structure:

        \src\main\resources\checkstyle-supressions.xml
        \src\main\resources\warpspeed_checkstyle_4_4.xml
        \src\main\resources\warpspeed-header.txt

Use you own content.

Install it into your repo.

And this is what I have in the parent:

Note how I've set them as dependencies of the plugin. This requires maven 
2.0.9 (min) and is what Brian Fox suggested. It basically places them on 
the classpath, so I've used the same technique to get them available for 
the plugin.

It works for me.

However, adding in this section may work for you, I've commented it out 
for me (it lives in the <build> section):

        <!--
        <extensions>
            <extension>
                <groupId>au.com.warpspeed</groupId>
                <artifactId>build-tools</artifactId>
                <version>${build-tools.version}</version>
            </extension>
        </extensions>
        -->


HTH.
