Question

hey anyone been porting gradle to use kotlin dsl I m trying to but no matter what I get ` gt The java plugin has been applied but it is not compatible with the Android plugins ` My guess is that `kotlin dsl` plugin includes java plugin which interferes with android plugin Anyway I have literally no idea how to repair it

gt My guess is that `kotlin dsl` plugin includes java plugin which interferes with android plugin Why do you apply kotlin dsl plugin this is need only if you want to develop own Gradle plugin and use Kotlin DSL extensions

you shouldn t use it for Android library application module

gildor · Answer

You shouldn t have such problem and kotlin dsl shouldn t cause any problems maybe you could show some example

Bruno_ · Answer

< gildor> yeah sure will send these in a second but one more thing one of the dependencies needs `kotlin android` plugin which seems that it doesn t exist right or at least I can t find one

Bruno_ · Answer

if I do include it `apply plugin kotlin android ` gradle tells me that it can t find it ``` Extension with name android does not exist Currently registered extension names ext sonarqube defaultArtifacts reporting sourceSets java kotlin ```
