kotlinlang

so in a gradle plugin with kotlin-dsl i can do everything, except doing things with the kotlin plugin eg. add kotlin sourceSets

It is not related to Kotlin DSL, but rather to Kotlin plugin itself. As for adding sourcesets - should be possible using extension

what do you mena using extension? configuring the kotlin extension or passing in the sourceset using my own exension ?

i can try that but it seems like nothing kotlin plugin related is available for import

```
project.extensions.findByType(KotlinJvmProjectExtension::class.java)?.sourceSets
```

```
import org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.dsl.KotlinJvmProjectExtension
```

i managed to make it work by adding it as depedency and loading it as a plugin, was just a wild guess but it seems to work

i also managed to make my plugin apply("kotlin")

that is true, without adding it as a dependency IDEA can't find it and import :slightly_smiling_face:

but why does i also need it in the plugin block ?

```
plugins {
    kotlin("jvm")
    `java-gradle-plugin`
    id("org.gradle.kotlin.kotlin-dsl") version "1.0-rc-6"
//    id("org.gradle.kotlin.kotlin-dsl.precompiled-script-plugins") version "1.0-rc-6"
    `maven-publish`
}

dependencies {
    compile(project(":poet"))
    compile(group = "org.jetbrains.kotlin", name = "kotlin-gradle-plugin", version = "1.2.71" /*Versions.kotlin*/)
}
```

i need to either have kotlin("jvm") in the plugin block or apply it, otherwise it does not work either

or maybe i am confused ad i was just another side effect that i fixed

you need in plugins block only that plugin that your project is using, and I suppose you project is using kotlin. If you are using groovy then you don't need `kotlin("jvm")` in plugins

except the kotlin-dsl loads kotlin already

kotlin-dsl loads kotlin only for build scripts

it doesn't applied to project files itself

anyways.. that seems to be fixed now too.. disregard my last few messages

You can check this repo for inspiration: <https://github.com/JLLeitschuh/ktlint-gradle/blob/master/plugin/build.gradle.kts>

i will.. for now i have a working plugin that sets up sourceSets, generates kotlin sources and discovers tasks based on scripts it finds in configurable folders
