Does the kotlin plugin automatically add dependencies to the Kotlin standard library when adding the plugin to a Java project? I just had the case, where our Android build's custom linter rules module leaked the standard library (as public module dependency), since the kotlin-stdlib dependency implicitly came from "somewhere". Explicitly stating the standard library as compileOnly dependency, configured Gradle to filter it away from the API/metadata configurations, and stopped leaking it.

Since 1.4 yes

As long as you didn't add a dependency manually

But you can also completely disable that

Aha! Awesome, thanks for the confirmation! 🙏

I'll start reading the changelog more carefully from now on 🙈
