Using Gradle
Using Gradle
In order to build Kotlin with Gradle you should set up the kotlin-gradle plugin, apply it to your project and add kotlin-stdlib dependencies. Those actions may also be performed automatically in IntelliJ IDEA by invoking the Tools | Kotlin | Configure Kotlin in Project action.
You can also enable incremental compilation to make your builds faster.
Plugin and Versions
The kotlin-gradle-plugin compiles Kotlin sources and modules.
The version of Kotlin to use is usually defined as the kotlin_version property:
buildscript { ext.kotlin_version = '<version to use>' repositories { mavenCentral() } dependencies { classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_versio
