Well of course if you "(delete 'install)", you won't install anything :p

You should rather modify that phase to install manually (using 
install-file)
the compiled jar, or find the correct target in build.xml.

Also, this package bundles a lot of pre-compiled jars. You should remove
them (for-each delete-files (find-files "." ".*.jar")) and add them as
inputs (we already have all of them, except felix.jar, but I think I
have a package for that: I will send it this evening).

Then you will be able to make a wrapper script. You can get inspiration
from the java-antlr packages.

Finally, there is probably an issue with your #:main-class: a class
usually starts with an upper-case letter. According to your comment,
it should be net.java.sip.communicator.launcher.SIPCommunicator.
