You will typically name your plugin <yourplugin>-maven-plugin.
Calling it maven-<yourplugin>-plugin (note “Maven” is at the beginning of the plugin name) is strongly discouraged since it’s a reserved naming pattern for official Apache Maven plugins maintained by the Apache Maven team with groupId org.apache.maven.plugins. Using this naming pattern is an infringement of the Apache Maven Trademark.
