09/13/2023, 5:35 PMWhat’s the status of the non-embeddable compiler jar? I see it will be removed completely in the (near?) future (KT-51301).
Projects using KSP 1.0.13 are actually already experiencing issues with the non-embeddable compiler jar.
So I am wondering if it’s time to drop support for it in third party compiler plugins as well.

For example, it is used inside kotlin IDE plugin
The issue you mentioned is about mixing of embeddable and non-embeddable jars in kotlin gradle plugin

The issue you mentioned is about mixing of embeddable and non-embeddable jars in kotlin gradle pluginI am not sure I completely understand what your mean by this. Are you saying there are Gradle plugins applied to the project that are using the embeddable compiler jar instead of the non-embeddable one?

09/14/2023, 6:44 AMIt's not about Gradle plugins in general
It's about KGP (Kotlin Gradle Plugin)
As I can judge by description of the ticket there was/is an option to run unshaded (non-embeddable) compiler for Native compilation tasks (all other platforms always use shaded compiler)
