has anybody else ran into publishing a library depending on kotlin, not including the version in the POM? so like api(kotlin("stdlib-jre8")) and running ./gradlew genPom with the maven-publish plugin and getting a dependency without the version?

<dependency>
      <groupId>org.jetbrains.kotlin</groupId>
      <artifactId>kotlin-stdlib-jre8</artifactId>
      <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>

I'm a bit drunk right now, but will upvote if someone takes th e responsobility

[mkobit]

[Czar]

is it kotlin's bug though or publish?

[gildor]

I do not drunk, but 3am here, so your are our only hope! 🙏

[gildor]

I suppose we should create a task for Kotlin Gradle Plugin, because this is feature of plugin (omit dependency version)

[mkobit]

im not actually sure if it is a problem for the kotlin gradle plugin or in gradle core

[gildor]

+1 for kotlin gradle plugin

This issue might be related, see the comment by @h0tk3y there https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-21203

that does look related and seems to indicate that problem is more in gradle core, thanks for link @ilya.gorbunov
