I want to create a kotlin only library module in my android app. I went through and created it using the wizard and got this

plugins {
    id("java-library")
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm")
}

but then I went and looked at an old project and it had a kotlin only lib module that looked like this:

plugins {
    id("java-library")
    id("kotlin")
}

So is there any diff between the second lines in both of these?

I'd say it should actually be kotlin("jvm") ?

[Javier]

Yep, java-library is not necessary

[Vampire]

That too, yeah

[Colton Idle]

ooh. interesting. maybe I'll file a bug with the android studio team. Is there any "reasoning" behind it for when I file the bug besides saying "Hey you can update this template to say this instead?"

No, all of them are equivalent but having only kotlin("jvm") is more concise.
