We've added compose related documentation: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/kotlin-multiplatform-dev/compose-compiler.html

JetBrains compose should be compatible starting 1.6.10-beta03 release.

Why is jetbrains compose plugin still needed? 🤔 Figured, its for the compose dependencies thingy

I previously had a build-convention set up to apply config to all compose projects (e.g. compiler metrics).

I’m having trouble identifying the right library to import into my build-convention build.gradle.kts so that I get access to the classes for configuration.

This is what I have right now after bumping to Kotlin 2.0.0-rc2 and Compose Multiplatform 1.6.10-beta3

libs.versions.toml

[versions]
compose = "1.6.10-beta03"
kotlin = "2.0.0-RC2"

[libraries]
compose-gradle = { module = "org.jetbrains.compose:compose-gradle-plugin", version.ref = "compose" }
compose-compiler = { module = "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-compose-compiler-plugin", version.ref = "kotlin" }
kotlin-gradle = { module = "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin", version.ref = "kotlin" }

build-logic/build.gradle.kts

dependencies {
    implementation(libs.compose.compiler)
    implementation(libs.compose.gradle)
    implementation(libs.kotlin.gradle)
}

build-logic-src/main/kotlin/compose-conventions.gradle.kts

pluginManager.withPlugin("org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.compose") {
    extensions.configure<org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.compose.compiler.gradle.ComposeCompilerGradlePluginExtension>() {
         // Apply config...
    }
}

But the import for org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.compose.compiler.gradle.ComposeCompilerGradlePluginExtension isn’t working. Is there something I’ve missed with this?

[tapchicoma]

Should be org.jetbrains.kotlin.compose.compiler.gradle.ComposeCompilerGradlePluginExtension

[Carter]

With that change, the IDE is still not seeing the compose package.

For the plugin dependency, a “cheat code” to adding gradle plugins as dependencies (especially if you dont know the actual pligin jar) is usually
group = $pluginID
module = $pluginID.gradle.plugin
version = $pluginVersion

[tapchicoma]

compose-gradle = { module = "org.jetbrains.compose:compose-gradle-plugin", version.ref = "compose" } should be compose-gradle = { module = "org.jetbrains.kotlin:compose-compiler-gradle-plugin", version.ref = "compose" }

[efemoney]

(or use the actual plugin jar that Yahor just supplied ☝🏾)

[Carter]

I think the package is org.jetbrains.kotlin instead of org.jetbrains.compose . It’ll take me a few minutes, several files need to be tweaked to get this working. I’ll report back shortly.

Ok, I got it working with the edits we discussed above. Thanks for the help!
