how the heck do you use

bootJar

with the kotlin dsl?

tears? it's gotta be a method call on something ... but the dsl generator isn't generating it, so you have to find the object it's actually on

ah.. do you have any suggestion on how to do that?

did you see https://guides.gradle.org/migrating-build-logic-from-groovy-to-kotlin/#configuring-tasks ?

no, @eskatos, there are so many pages for how to convert I somehow missed that one.
