How can I use io.ktor.plugin to manage Ktor libraries if the module is not supposed to be an application? In other words, I have an infrastructure module that requires Ktor Client dependencies, so I figured I'd use io.ktor.plugin to manage the versions in a centralized way, but it applies application plugin so the build fails requiring me to specify the main class (which is already specified in the module with ktor server libraries)

You can use Ktor BOM to control the Ktor dependency versions. For example:

implementation(platform("io.ktor:ktor-bom:2.3.12"))
implementation("io.ktor:ktor-client-core")

Interesting. If I add this to buildSrc/ then do I still need the io.ktor.plugin anywhere?

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

I think you don't need the plugin then.

Thanks Aleksei, I'll try this out
