How should I correctly replace ```application { mainClass.set("com.example.ApplicationKt") }``` ...

How should I correctly replace

application {
    mainClass.set("com.example.ApplicationKt")
}

for jvm target when I use multiplatform setup? I get this error: Error running 'ApplicationKt': Class 'com.example.ApplicationKt' not found in module 'com.example.main'

application plugin does not work with mpp plugin. You need to write your own javaexec task (see how it's done in kamp)

Simple use the multiplatform template from the wizard 🤔

plugins {
    kotlin("multiplatform") version "1.6.10"
    application
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

kotlin {
    jvm {
        withJava()
    }
}

application {
    mainClass.set("example.application.ServerKt")
}

tasks.named<JavaExec>("run") {
    dependsOn(tasks.named<Jar>("jvmJar"))
    classpath(tasks.named<Jar>("jvmJar"))
}

Nice one. Didn't realize you could massage application plugin so easily to get it to work with mpp
