I understand that Android is not yet explicitly supported, but I'm trying it anyhow in conjunction with android-maven-plugin and I'm hitting a problem and I'm not sure if the Kotlin compiler's behaviour is correct.
The android-maven-plugin adds a directory that may not exist to the class-path when extracting dependency sources:GenerateSourcesMojo.java, line 151
This in turn causes the Kotlin compiler to choke.
Maven build output and stack trace here
The problem is here:
[INFO] Compiling Kotlin sources from [C:UsersLiamdevelopmentmavenAndroidmavenAndroidsrcmainkotlin, C:UsersLiamdevelopmentmavenAndroidmavenAndroidtargetgenerated-sourcesextracted-dependenciessrcmainjava, C:UsersLiamdevelopmentmavenAndroidmavenAndroidtargetgenerated-sourcesr, C:UsersLiamdevelopmentmavenAndroidmavenAndroidtargetgenerated-sourcesaidl]
The directory targetgenerated-sourcesextracted-dependenciessrcmainjava wasn’t created, and so the Kotlin compiler dies. So, I need to determine what the correct behaviour should be and where I should submit a bug/patch. Should the Kotlin compiler survive such things or is dying correct? Should the Kotlin maven plugin be catching such non-existent source directories? Or should the android maven plugin not be adding that path to the sources unless it exists?
