Supports Spring Boot Kotlin and Jimmer(Java&Kotlin)

[pascalgrimaud]

Adding the support of Spring Boot + Kotlin is not hard, but the problem would be for maintainer Do you want to provide the feature and maintain it @BingZi-233 ?

[BingZi-233]

I think I can maintain it, and I decided to abandon another plan for jhipster-lite.

[BingZi-233]

Too bad I can't find an easy way to add what I want to add.

The first step is simply to add a new module: maven-kotlin in java-build-tool group:

[pascalgrimaud]

Then, the 2nd module would be: kotlin-base, which is similar to java-base but for kotlin.

With these 2 modules, we'll be able to start to code a kotlin library. The Spring Boot module for kotlin must be done later, after these 2 modules

That's why I asked you if you want to code these modules and maintain them, as it's a lot of work. Not sure in the core team, we'll have the bandwidth to maintain something we don't use ;-)

I've tried to do this locally, Kotlin only relies on Gradle modules. It's not clear to me how to add the Kotlin plugin to Gradle's template at the moment. I'm still trying to add it, hopefully it won't mess up. Although I didn't see the reply until I had already finished adding, I was hoping that I had complied with the relevant specifications.

[BingZi-233]

Kotlin support only needs to add a plugin to Gradle and doesn't affect any other parts.

[BingZi-233]

I wanted to add a Gradle plugin of type kotlin("jvm") version "1.9.25", but I don't see a corresponding class that can be used to add it.

[BingZi-233]

Looks like I've done this part, and it's a bit weird to write this way.

[pascalgrimaud]

I don't think gradle-kotlin should depend on gradle-java

[BingZi-233]

It is as it should be, just as an additional language extension. Does not replace gradle-java
