I create an kotlin library and published into maven central.

However, if this library is used by pure java project, user must add the dependency “kotlin-stdlib” explicitly.

It looks like that the “koitlin-stdlib” is automatically excluded from grade/maven dependency tree because it is treated as provided dependency.

How to resolve this problem?

CodePudding user response：

In gradle you can add

dependencies {
  implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:$kotlin_version"
}

The generated pom.xml should contain this dependency.

See:

• https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.github.ragin-lundf/bdd-cucumber-gherkin-lib/1.48.0
  • -> under runtime dependencies
• https://github.com/Ragin-LundF/bbd-cucumber-gherkin-lib/blob/main/build.gradle
  • -> as an example how to generate the pom for publishing to maven central in gradle

CodePudding user response：

I find the reason.

implemetation(kotlin("reflect"))

is not OK,

api(kotlin("reflect"))

must be used.
