I'm having the same problem, even after having read the maven plugin prefix
mapping link.  MThe relevant portion of my POM is:

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
       <groupId>org.apache.axis2</groupId>
        <artifactId>axis2-aar-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.5.1</version>
        <configuration>
           <goalPrefix>aar</goalPrefix>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

Here's the result:

[/Users/dave/projects/gpsdata/webservice] mvn aar:exploded

So even though maven locates the plugin and installs it into the repo, it
cannot find it for use.  Obviously I've missed something obvious.
