@william This may not be the crux of your question; but as some handy (and hard-won!) info: I'm currently forced to use the multiplatform plugin to compile my (JVM-only) server, because I'm maintaining a 'shared' multiplatform module between server and clients.
In theory one should be able to make a multi-platform project reference from the server as a kotlin("jvm") plugin project; and indeed configuring in this way does compile without issue.
However the IDE support isn't there - both IntelliJ and Android fail to 'see' the multiplatform project dependencies correctly. Setting up the top-level server project as multiplatform fixes this, though you do have to add the jvmMain classpaths etc. manually if you're e.g. making a WAR file.

@darkmoon_uk I think your problem is different, I have multiple projects where a non-multiplatform module depends on a Multiplatform module with no issues (I use IDEA stable and IDEA EAP, haven't tested AS)

For example:
• api is Multiplatform
• server is JVM, depends on api
• client is Multiplatform, depends on api
• ui is JS, depends on client
