I see a compileKotlin task when I build, although the project is pure java with kotlin libs, is it fine?

Do you by chance apply any of Kotlin plugins to your Gradle build?

[elect]

yes, aren't they necessary for the runtime?

[r4zzz4k]

If so, even if there are no Kotlin sources, the task would still be there (and I presume would do nothing)

[r4zzz4k]

For merely consuming Kotlin libraries you shouldn't need Kotlin plugin.

I get an error if I do so, I'll try again on Monday
