12/14/2018, 9:03 PMIn the current ecosystem it's pretty unlikely that a library is multiplatform-supported if it doesn't explicitly tell you that it is.

12/14/2018, 9:05 PMYeah. Assumed it wouldn’t work out of the box, but was thinking it might be an interesting library target if it was generating kotlin

12/14/2018, 9:43 PMYes, the follow-up question was if it would be do-able to make it multiplatform-supported. I've never done it before, but I could give it a try.......

12/14/2018, 9:44 PMTo me it is extra complex due to it is generating the code, and it is not the code itself I'd have to migrate 🤣

12/15/2018, 7:37 AMActually, I think the answer to the original question might well be yes, but difficult to obtain. My KFile multiplatform library has a .module file for which a grep of “org.jetbrains.kotlin.platform.type” will reveal “jvm”, “common”, and “native”. One would need to verify the existence of the
<artifact>-<version>.module👍 1
