Hi all! Is the Kotlin command line compiler incremental too, or do I need to use the Gradle/Maven plugin for that?

[marstran]

I think you can use -Dkotlin.compiler.incremental=true. See here: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/using-maven.html#incremental-compilation

Isn't that about maven?

[adolev]

Yes, the link points to a Maven resource

[marstran]

It's on the maven page, but both the maven page and the gradle page says you can add -Dkotlin.compiler.incremental=true to the command line parameters.

[adolev]

ah, thanks so much!

[adolev]

do you know if this also starts the server which keeps the jvm warm?

[gildor]

I don't think so. There is only Kotlin compiler daemon for Gradle

[gildor]

But anyway, if you need build a Kotlin project use Gradle instead (or Maven, if you want, but it much less support)
