When adding dependency information for using a multiplatform library, the platform targets are pretty obvious, e.g.

implementation "<http://com.pajato.io:KFile-jvm:0.0.1|com.pajato.io:KFile-jvm:0.0.1>"

or

implementation "<http://com.pajato.io:KFile-native:0.0.1|com.pajato.io:KFile-native:0.0.1>"

but how should

common

dependencies be written:

implementation "<http://com.pajato.io:KFile:0.0.1|com.pajato.io:KFile:0.0.1>"

or

implementation "<http://com.pajato.io:KFile-metadata:0.0.1|com.pajato.io:KFile-metadata:0.0.1>"

?

afaik common dependencies has the -common suffix

Hmmm. That’s interesting. I used maven-publish to get the four artifacts I see on Maven Central, one with no suffix and the other three having -metadata, -jvm and -native suffixes. Perhaps a JB or Gradle guru might comment. @olonho

If I’m not mistaken, the

KFile

dependency auto-populates the other platform dependencies if GRADLE_METADATA is enabled. If specifying platform dependencies manually, then you should use the

-metadata

artifact instead.
