Not able to bind plugin goals to maven lifecycle phases

Question

I am using maven sql plugin. I am using the plugin to setup the my test db before executing integration tests. Here is my plugin configuration from my project pom. When I execute mvn clean install I expect the plugin goals to execute. But they are not getting executed. Any help will be appreciated. I am facing similar issue for aspectj plugin (configuration provided below).

My SQL plugin configuration:

<!-- Maven SQL Plugin for setting up test schema for integration tests -->
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>sql-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.5</version>
    <dependencies> <!-- specify the dependent JDBC driver here -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>${jdbc.groupId}</groupId>
            <artifactId>${jdbc.artifactId}</artifactId>
            <version>${jdbc.version}</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
    <!-- common configuration shared by all executions -->
    <configuration>
        <driver>org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</driver>
        <url>jdbc:hsqldb:sample</url>
        <username>sa</username>
        <password></password>
    </configuration>

    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>create_db_schema</id>
            <phase>process-test-resources</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>execute</goal>
            </goals>
            <!-- specific configuration for this execution -->
            <configuration>
                <srcFiles>
                    <srcFile>src/test/resources/test-schema.sql</srcFile>
                </srcFiles>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
        <execution>
            <id>shutdown_db_instance</id>
            <phase>process-test-resources</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>execute</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <sqlCommand>SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATELY</sqlCommand>
            </configuration>
         </execution>
     </executions>
</plugin>

My aspectj plugin configuration:

<!-- AspectJ Compile-time waving for spring cross-store. -->
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>aspectj-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.4</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <goals>
                <goal>compile</goal> 
                <goal>test-compile</goal> 
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
    <configuration>
        <outxml>true</outxml>

            </aspectLibrary>
        </aspectLibraries>
        <source>1.6</source>
        <target>1.6</target>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Be sure that these plugins are not defined inside project/build/pluginManagement/plugins, but in project/build/plugins. Only the latter are executed, those plugins will then will be checked with the pluginManagement for the final configuration.
