I'm new with the pom, so i don't know why they are not running, the lifecycle just start and run all the other default plugins.

If someone can please help me...

If someone can se if it is really correct, i really appreciate it, thanks in advance.

To tell where to put the folder of the deploy, without it i have that error: "Deployment failed: repository element was not specified in the POM inside distributionManagement element or in -DaltDeploymentRepository=id::layout::url parameter" — Paolo Di Biase, Jan 25 '23 at 18:01

Your <build> block is missing the <plugins> block therefore none of the plugins are executed.

The <pluginManagement> block is an additional block which specifies settings from modules that are inherited from your module. But you still need <plugin> block in your pom.xml.

Please also refer to this explanation: What is pluginManagement in Maven's pom.xml?
