kotlinlang

what do I need to do with Kotlin 1.4 to get kotlin-stdlib-jdk8 added to my classpath? regular JVM project, not multiplatform. I've tried this to no avail
```dependencies {
    implementation(kotlin("stdlib"))
}

tasks.withType&lt;org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile&gt; {
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "11"
    }
}```

<https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/using-gradle.html#dependency-on-the-standard-library|this page> suggests it should be automatic:
&gt; The Kotlin Gradle plugin will select the appropriate JVM standard library depending on the `kotlinOptions.jvmTarget` <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/using-gradle.html#compiler-options|compiler option> of your Gradle build script.
but for now I can just add it manually.

What I found out, is that I could just get rid of it. If I set the target to java 8 it is there

did you experience the stdlib not being added?

yeah stdlib and stdlib-common are there, but not stdlib-jdk7 or stdlib-jdk8

Do not add a stdlib manually, then they get added

If you add them manually you have to add what you want like `kotlin("stdlib-jdk8")`

ah, gotcha. the new-project dialog added it :stuck_out_tongue:

can confirm, removing the dependency did indeed work :thumbsup:
