maven jax-ws plugin does not generate client classes from wsdl - web-services

Question

I have created a web project using maven 2(it will be deployed on tomcat 7.0.35), which should serve as a client for JAX-WS web service. I am trying to generate client classes from wsdl file(I have 1 wsdl and 1 xsd).
After I run "mvn clean install" command, no classes are generated and I don't see any errors in console
This is my pom.xml

When using <pluginManagement> element in a pom file, you don't declare plugins usage, but plugins availability. <pluginManagement> is used in a parent pom to announce available plugins for child pom usage.
Just remove this element, and the plugins should be called.
