Kotlin gradle.build ZipException because of duplicates

Android
1

I add Kotlin to the gradle.build with dependency (Kotlin version 1.0.4):

compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:$kotlin_version"

As I found out it has a conflict with my other dependency:

compile 'org.jetbrains:annotations-java5:15.0'

After I run the build it crashes with the ZipException:

com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: org/jetbrains/annotations/Nullable.class

What I already tried:

I tried this solution:

But it ended up, that not only Nullable.class and NotNull.class were duplicates, but also classes from org/intellij/lang/annotations/.

After I added five classes it still crashed. Is there a better way to get rid of this problem, by not adding every class manually that causes this exception?

UPDATE (02.02.16)

As I worked a bit on the problem, I found out that for my project the relevant annotation classes are NonNls.class and Contract.class that are missing, if I remove org.jetbrains:annotations-java5:15.0. They are not in kotlin-runtime, but in the Jetbrains annotation dependency. How can I add it without adding the Jetbrains annotation dependency again? Or what about adding the whole library to Kotlin?

Take a look at my reply half a year ago. That is in an android context, but there is nothing android-specific to the solution:

I see, that is where the stackoverflow answer comes from as well. The amount of classes should be fairly limited so I would stick with manually enumerating them. Of course you could configure gradle with a filter (instead of manual exclusions) and in that filter check for containment of the name in kotlin-stdlib → better yet, cache this somehow as it’s not really fast.

Could you be more explicit, what other classes in particular are duplicates (except Nullable, NotNull, Mutable and ReadOnly)?

4

Other classes are for example Flow.class or Identifier.class.

5

You should examine from which dependencies these two annotation classes are coming from, because kotlin-runtime bundles only those 4 annotations, and neither Flow nor Identifier are in that list.

Most likely the conflict is between 'org.jetbrains:annotations-java5:15.0' and 'org.jetbrains:annotations:15.0'.

You can use dependenies gradle task to inspect the dependency graph of your project.

Thanks for your answer. I only have 'org.jetbrains:annotations-java5:15.0' as a dependency and not the other one. I updated my question, because I’m at the point to drop the whole dependency.

Hey @ilya.gorbunov I’m having the build error

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForDebug'.
> java.io.IOException: Can't write [/home/imedrix-server/StudioProjects/kardioscreen-operatorapp/app/build/intermediates/multi-dex/debug/componentClasses.jar] (Can't read [/home/imedrix-server/StudioProjects/kardioscreen-operatorapp/app/build/intermediates/transforms/desugar/debug/76.jar(;;;;;;**.class)] (Duplicate zip entry [76.jar:org/intellij/lang/annotations/Flow.class]))

I added kotlin library
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jre7:$kotlin_version"

to the existing Android Java project then only I’m getting the error. If I remove there is no error.

Please help me to solve the issue.

@praveenpro It looks like you have class org.intellij.lang.annotations.Flow coming from several jars. One of them is coming from org.jetbrains:annotations maven artifact which is a transitive dependency of org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jre7 and to find the other, you can run gradlew dependency to show the dependency graph of your project.
Then you may want to exclude one of the conflicting artifacts: java - How do I exclude all instances of a transitive dependency when using Gradle? - Stack Overflow

Thanks a lot @ilya.gorbunov The issue is solved by adding the line

configurations {
        compile.exclude group : 'org.jetbrains' , module : 'annotations'
    }
