Question about the new

api

configuration...I was under the impression that it was only available when you had applied the

java-library

plugin. However I'm able to use it in Gradle 6.2 (and I can see the effect it has on the module metadata when published to Nexus). A build scan reveals that the

java-library

plugin isn't applied, so how is this possible?

the kotlin plugin applies its own

api

configuration. I don't know if it functions properly now, I know that it used to not work the same as the one from

java-library

Whoah ok

It's really weird that this isn't documented anywhere that I can see
