I would like to set up some Kotlin projects and have them compile with Ant.

Can someone guide me to any Ant task support for this and steps for getting this set up?

Thank you!

Randy

Thank you. I was reading that page but I could not figure out how to get the Ant exentions JAR file. Now I see it in the stock standard download distribution.

Maybe a note on the page indicating where that JAR file can be found?

Thank you!
