Howdy folks. I see the kotlin.metadata is now "stable" and is "part of kotlin distribution" [1] but I don't see the jar in any of the artifacts[2]. Where am I supposed to get it if I don't/can't use gradle?

These are all the jars I see in the 2.0.21 lib directory:

1. Change coordinates of the library in your dependency declarations. The new coordinates are org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-metadata-jvm. For example: implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-metadata-jvm:2.0.0-RC")

Thank you both for the reply. Unfortunatley, we use neither gradle nor maven.

I was hoping the jar would be bundled the compiler standard

Getting the jar copied from somewhere else requires ... bureaucracy.

Thanks for noticing. Yes, it would be reasonable to have it bundled in the .zip. I've filed https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-73890 for that.
