在完整的Java项目中向Kotlin上的库添加依赖项

Question

I created a simple library ( AAR ) on the Kotlin , when called up, interacts with the other application through the Broadcast mechanism. And now I had a question: how to properly connect it to third-party developers, as a file (not Maven), that them do not have to install a dependency on the Kotlin ?

Answer 1

You cannot: Kotlin compiles to class files and executes on the JVM, yes... But they depend on the Kotlin runtime... Also note that your Gradle dependencies are not nested forward, meaning that either you include the jars (causing duplicate clases conflicts if the end user wants to use the same library) or you inform in the docs. Alternatively you can use a private Maven repository that can include a file with nested dependencies.
