Anyone knows how to create gradle JavaExec configuration for multiplatform project?

tasks.create<JavaExec>("run") {
    classpath = //?
    mainClass.set("com.example.MainKt")
}

sourceSets container is at this point empty. configurations container does not have jvmMainRuntime configuration.

I didnt manage to get it to work either. Workarounded by adding a second gradle subproject for that, maybe thats a feasible workaround for you too up until someone tells us how its done ^^"

easiest way to do it, IMO:

val jvmJar by tasks.existing
val jvmRuntimeClasspath by configurations.existing
tasks.register<JavaExec>("run") {
    description = "Runs this project as a JVM application"
    group = ApplicationPlugin.APPLICATION_GROUP
    classpath(jvmJar, jvmRuntimeClasspath)
    mainClass.set("...")
}
