Is there a way to access a jar within my own gradle plugin?
Every help is welcome.

What do you mean "access" a jar ? You can have your plugin add a jar in a module's dependency, if that's what you're trying to do

I have a compiler plugin and add it in the gradle-plugin-jar here:

jar {
  // Embed compiler plugin in jar
  from configurations.named("compileClasspath").get().find { it.name.startsWith("compiler-plugin") }

  manifest {
    attributes["Specification-Title"] = project.name
    attributes["Specification-Version"] = project.version
    attributes["Implementation-Title"] = pluginId
    attributes["Implementation-Version"] = project.version
  }
}

Now how can I add that jar to the modules dependency programmatically

Have you tried:

project.dependencies {
  add("configurationName", files("path/to.jar"))
}

I am trying to manipulate the freeArguments of the kotlinOptions. In compileKotlin

[Malvin Sutanto]

Did you mean freeCompilerArgs?

I think you can try:

project.tasks.withType(KotlinCompile::class).configureEach {
        kotlinOptions {
            freeCompilerArgs = listOf()
        }
    }

I tried that before, but it throughs: Source entry is not a Kotlin file, but if I write the same line in the build gradle it passes fine as expected

I am now Debugging why

I figured out what the problem was 🙂 Thanks everyone
