I know there was a plan for compiler plugins for future. As of now, it is possible to have custom annotation applied to kotlin code for java code generation?

You can use normal Java annotation processors on your Kotlin code using Kapt. You can even generate Kotlin code. https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/kapt.html

Great, thanks

https://github.com/square/kotlinpoet can help you generate kotlin code using kapt

Looks like kapt is the actual plugin 🙂 loading these processors

kapt is not actuall a plugin like “compiler plugin”, it’s a separate tool that replaces java apt

oh, i just found that under plugins directory

Actually you are right, kapt also part of compiler plugins, never noticed about this
