Between Kotlin 1.1.51 and 1.1.60 kotlin-annotation-processing artifact was discontinued and now there is a kotlin-annotation-processing-gradle instead (as well as -maven which was there for some time) <https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/commit/feee93186bdab504c5bf94d1c046bf7f2a0697af>

1. Does it mean that -gradle version will become more Gradle-specific? Reason why I'm asking is because OkBuck + Buck need it to support Kapt and relied on kotlin-annotation-processing before, but now it's gone
2. Changelog doesn't seem to reflect this change <https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/1.1.60/ChangeLog.md>

1. No, that’s just an artifact of switching our build to Gradle. The only difference is that kotlin-annotation-processing-gradle is built for the “shaded” compiler so it will be incompatible with the CLI kotlinc (at least, for some time).

As it should be discussed internally if we will return the kotlin-annotation-processing artifact, as a workaround, you can use kotlin-annotation-processing-maven instead. It should work exactly the same way.

Is it possible that the maven artifact will become incompatible with CLI kotlinc?

It will become incompatible if we shade IntelliJ platform components in Kotlin compiler for Maven. But now we don’t have such plans.

Looks like my previous comments we not really correct. We shaded the Intellij components in kotlin-annotation-processing, and we just renamed it to kotlin-annotation-processing-gradle. So please use kotlin-annotation-processing-gradle as a replacement.
