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<org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile> {
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "11"
    }
}

this page suggests it should be automatic:

The Kotlin Gradle plugin will select the appropriate JVM standard library depending on the kotlinOptions.jvmTarget 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

[Joost Klitsie]

like how they promised

[Joost Klitsie]

did you experience the stdlib not being added?

[nanodeath]

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

[Vampire]

Do not add a stdlib manually, then they get added

[Vampire]

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

[nanodeath]

ah, gotcha. the new-project dialog added it 😛

can confirm, removing the dependency did indeed work 👍
