to the kotlin-maven-plugin plugin.
Could you tell me why it is required?

[hho]

Either you're not using the spring-boot-starter-parent (which contains this block as a default) as a parent to your project or you have overridden it somewhere.

In any case, if you don't tell Maven to execute the kotlin-maven-plugin, then it won't be executed – and your main class will be missing when the spring-boot-maven-plugin is looking for it.

@hho yes, you right.
I use my own parent instead of spring-boot-starter-parent
