Hi, one of the things I find difficult while building compiler plugins is that source jar for kotlin-compiler-embeddable is empty. I'm trying to build Gradle plugin for generating this jar from git sources, but with mixed results (https://gradle-community.slack.com/archives/CA745PZHN/p1597353800010600)

In any case, is uploading source jar with files on roadmap?

Maybe it helps. I usually use the latest dev Kotlin version while working on the plugin and download the sources from Github. Then I link the sources manually.

You can also checkout the release branch for your version and link it there 🙂

That's all good workarounds but the reason we all love IntelliJ is that it does all that automagically
