Ktor gradle plugin is using gradle application plugin internally, making it incompatible with KMP (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-69406). Will it stay this way?

[Bruce Hamilton]

As far as I know, it will stay this way. The Ktor plugin is intended only for server applications, so for KMP libraries using Ktor dependencies, it's best to avoid using the plugin.

@Robert Jaros, the server side also need KMP project to run on JVM, and natively on UNIX, MacOS, and Windows.

I read YouTrack ticket. They said to make a separate sub-project to use Java plugins. What is “sub-project”? Is it module? KMP includes multiple modules, including JVM modules. Are thous module can use Java plugins, or it should be yet another project, including KMP as a library?
