Using kapt in maven - maven

Question

I'm trying to make a small application for my asignment in kotlin using dagger and maven (can't switch to gradle) and I'm aware that for kotlin, i need to add not only dagger but also the kapt for it to work. Here is where my problem starts, it doesn't work.
I've being for the last 2 days searching arround the internet for any kind of information on this and the only thing related to kapt and maven I've found is on the jetbrains site where they say that i have to add an execution block to my pom. Well so I've done this and it still doesn't work. I get a "cannot resolve symbol" in the goal kapt.
I suspect the problem is either one of this:
I may be missing a dependency.
I'm placing the execution block for the kapt in the wrong place.
Here is my pom.xml:

It may be a simple solution but I'm still not fluent with all this dagger/kotlin stuff so thanks for the help :)
