Maven plugins via profile are not executed in specified phase

My requirement to execute testng.xml file to run the automation scripts and send the mail once execution is completed. I'll define like what tests to run from testng.xml file.

So I've decided to use maven profiles concept for running the testng.xml file and for sending execution reports as below. When i run the command using
"mvn test -P Code_Compile,Run_Tests,Mail_Reports", below mentioned profiles are not executed. Please let me know what I'm missing here.

<profiles>

I've tried to include only plugins inside build tag instead of profiles by setting the phase as "test" for each plugin as shown below and tried to run "mvn test" command.As you can see below I've included test in each plugin.This try also didn't pick the execution of plugins. Please help me in solving this problem either via profiles or via plugins.

If you run mvn fr.jcgay.maven.plugins:buildplan-maven-plugin:1.3:list -P Code_Compile,Run_Tests,Mail_Reportsthis will output the plugins maven is executing and their execution ids, You might see from the output of the command that your executions are probably not overriding the default executions (as these have different ids).

mvn fr.jcgay.maven.plugins:buildplan-maven-plugin:1.3:list -P Code_Compile,Run_Tests,Mail_Reports

Instead of defining your Code_Compile profile use the default properties defined here: https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/examples/set-compiler-source-and-target.html

Code_Compile

Also if you want to use a specific version of the compiler use pluginManagement to define that.

pluginManagement
