You have to add your plugins inside tag.

For example:

  <build>
    <plugins>    
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${maven-compiler-plugin.version}</version>
        <dependencies>
          <dependency>
            <groupId>org.ow2.asm</groupId>
            <artifactId>asm</artifactId>
            <version>${asm.version}</version>
          </dependency>
        </dependencies>
      </plugin>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${maven-surefire-plugin.version}</version>
        <dependencies>
          <dependency>
            <groupId>org.ow2.asm</groupId>
            <artifactId>asm</artifactId>
            <version>${asm.version}</version>
          </dependency>
        </dependencies>
        <configuration>
          <useFile>false</useFile>
          <excludes>
            <exclude>**/integration/**</exclude>
          </excludes>
          <includes>
            <include>**/*Test.java</include>
            <include>**/*Spec.java</include>
          </includes>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
