Investigating moving a large-ish multi-project monorepo from maven to Gradle - gradle init tries to convert but seems to miss the Kotlin plugin; picks up on some Java (mostly generated via Jooq) and creates only a java-conventions file (so never actually tries to compile any of the kotlin) - does anyone know what that tool looks for to pick up on Kotlin in the pom?

Nothing

If you look at https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_init_plugin.html#sec:pom_maven_conversion, you see what is supported by this task.

Kotlin projects are not.

But such a conversion is anyway always just something to start from, you have to adapt it proplery anyway.

I see, thank you - that’s unfortunate
