Dear @Roman.Artemev,

Is it possible to use kotlin EAP with kotlin gradle DSL and new declarative plugins DSL? I’ve created my build.gradle.kts, but it uses apply(plugin = "kotlin") and I’m not sure how can I use plugins block

7

You can use Kotlin EAP with the new declarative plugins DSL, but you neet to specify the repository in the settings.gradle

build.gradle.kts

plugins {
    kotlin("jvm") version "1.3.20-eap-52"
}

repositories {
    maven("https://dl.bintray.com/kotlin/kotlin-eap")
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation(kotlin("stdlib-jdk8"))
}

settings.gradle

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://dl.bintray.com/kotlin/kotlin-eap' }
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url 'https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/' }
    }
}

Thanks, @SackCastellon, it worked as expected!

The only difference from your example is that I’ve used implementation(kotlin("stdlib")) in my build.gradle.kts instead of implementation(kotlin("stdlib-jdk8")) like in your example. Does it make any actual difference?

No, unless you are using something specific from Java 8, like Streams.
