I have a plugin where in the past we had a few directories that we were adding to the java sourceset. However, adding to just the java sourceset caused issues when we switched to gradle 8 because we started to get implicit task dependency errors on a few kotlin specific tasks. So I updated the plugin so that it now grabs the kotlinExtension and adds directly to the kotlin sourceset.
After making the change, I found out this logic was broken before kotlin 1.9.0. I'm wondering if there's a good way to detect the version so I can just add to the java source set if they are pre kotlin 1.9.0 and add to the kotlin sourceset if they are on or after 1.9.0.

It seems like gradle should know the entire classpath for the child without having to look at the parent.

All Kotlin plugins should implement this interface
