# ksp

I have a maven project in my company and we're using Kotlin 1.9 with kapt. I wanna migrate to kotlin 2.x. Is there a way I can migrate from kapt to ksp with maven?

[Edgar Avuzi]

I'm also really interested in this. Maven + KSP setup

[micah]

What are you using kapt for currently? There isn't an obvious connection in my mind between moving to kotlin 2.x and using ksp.

Or is it just a question of how to use ksp with maven (ignoring the kapt stuff from the original post)?

[Edgar Avuzi]

Ignoring the kapt setup - I’m only interested in scaffolding a Maven project with Koin annotations.
Since Koin annotations require KSP (as the official Koin annotations docs reference Kotlin’s KSP documentation), I assume KSP is necessary here.
However, the official Kotlin KSP documentation only provides Gradle-based examples, not Maven ones

It's not something I'm super familiar with, but there is a discussion of the issue here: https://github.com/google/ksp/issues/47. And a (probably abandoned) solution in this plugin: https://github.com/Dyescape/kotlin-maven-symbol-processing.

My impression is that your options are pretty limited if you can't switch to gradle (and don't want to fork/maintain your own maven plugin)

[Edgar Avuzi]

Yep, thanks, I'd switch to Gradle
