I’ve just tried upgrading a Kotlin JVM project from 1.2.71 to 1.3.10, and now my gradle build fails while compiling Kotlin classes with the following exceptoin:

```

```

Environment:

- Gradle 4.10.2
- Java 8 (1.8.0\_152 MacOS)
- kotlin-gradle-plugin 1.3.10

Anyone else encounter this problem? I’ve tried disabling all of my other Kotlin plugins (allopen and jpa), but I still get the same failure.

Tried with Kotlin 1.3.0 - same failure

My `build.gradle` looks like this:

```nohighlight
    ext {
        kotlinVersion = '1.3.10'
       ... yadda yadda ...
    }
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }

    dependencies { // Gradle Plugin classpath.
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlinVersion"
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-allopen:$kotlinVersion"
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-noarg:$kotlinVersion"
    }
}
... stuff ...

apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'kotlin'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-spring'  
apply plugin: "kotlin-jpa"

... more stuff ...
```

Digging a little further, I think it might be the spring dependencies plugin: `apply plugin: 'io.spring.dependency-management'`

@pgmjsd could you run `dependencies` task in the subproject where error happens (`./gradlew :subproject:dependencies`) and post the output for `kotlinCompilerClasspath` configuration here?

I figured it out. It was the dependency management plugin:

```
    dependencyManagement {
    imports {
        mavenBom("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-dependencies:$springBootVersion")
    }
    dependencies {
        ... blah blah ...
    }

```

In this POM, there is a `kotlin.version` property that needs to be overridden like this:

`ext['kotlin.version'] = kotlinVersion`

Where `kotlinVersion` is defined in my `buildscript` block at the top of the file.

</div>

I can try it without the `kotlin.version` override for the imported BOM.

I am having the same issue.  
How can I solve this issue?  
This is the output of `kotlinCompilerClasspath`
