Kotlin Extension for bld

To install, please refer to the extensions and support documentation.

Compile Kotlin Source Code

To compile the source code located in src/main/kotlin and src/test/kotlin from the current project:

@BuildCommand(summary = "Compiles the Kotlin project")
public void compile() throws Exception {
    new CompileKotlinOperation()
            .fromProject(this)
            .execute();
}

./bld compile

Please check the Compile Operation documentation for all available configuration options.

Kotlin Compiler Requirement

Please make sure Kotlin is installed and that the KOTLIN_HOME environment variable is set.

You can also manually configure the Kotlin home location as follows:

@BuildCommand(summary = "Compiles the Kotlin project")
public void compile() throws Exception {
    new CompileKotlinOperation()
            .fromProject(this)
            .kotlinHome("path/to/kotlin")
            .execute();
}

While older version of Kotlin are likely working with the extension, only version 1.9 or higher are officially supported.

Template Project

There is also a Template Project with support for the Dokka and Detekt extensions.
