how will i run kotlinc command by using gradle-kotlin plugin

If you add the Kotlin gradle plugin it will automatically build your Kotlin code from src/main/kotlin by default during any gradle task that requires compilation

[Evan R.]

If you want to bootstrap a Kotlin gradle project you can do so either through IntelliJ via the “gradle” project type (I recommend using the kotlin DSL) or via the command line with gradle init which should have a “kotlin” project type

want to run a set of kotlin files during configuration phase

Looks like the better way to go would be using BuildSrc so you can just directly implement gradle tasks in kotlin and hook them into the lifecycle of other tasks: https://kotlinexpertise.com/execute-kotlin-scripts-with-gradle/

That way everything stays in Gradle rather than calling out to an external process

tbh im already using buildSrc
