03/25/2021, 12:14 AMDocumentation of this lint tool says:
Android Lint is a static analysis tool (which despite the name is not limited to Android, and within Google for example is used to analyze Java and Kotlin server side code as well as Android and even desktop software like IDEs.)Thus, should be more generic

03/27/2021, 6:20 PMAndroid lint is not officially supported for Java/Kotlin projects. So use it at own risk and android lint upgrade may have incompatible changes without further notice

03/27/2021, 8:22 PMIs it an official guidance that Android Lint is not supported for non-Android projects? There’s even a non-deprecated Gradle plugin to run Lint in pure Kotlin projects: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/tools/base/+/refs/heads/mirror-goog-studio-mast[…]ore/src/main/java/com/android/build/gradle/LintPlugin.kt

The purpose of this is to let teams use lint on projects that are unrelated

03/27/2021, 8:30 PMYep, fair. Maybe something’s changed but I agree it’s not entirely clear what’s the level of support right now, I also couldn’t find anything that explicitly says it’s supported (or not supported) so 👍
