While not a replacement to the sources cited above (despite being highly inspired by them), I wrote that guide for Java Developers trying to focus on differences and new idioms. Back in 2017, it doesn’t take long for it to skyrocket after Google announced Kotlin as an official language for Android.Īlthough being concise and easy to get started with, on-boarding developers to Kotlin might require some time but Java Developers could take a lot of shortcuts navigating their way through the official documentation or through the highly recommended “ Kotlin In Action”. This means that if you have different build flavors in your Gradle configuration resulting in different source sets, for production and debug versions for example, then an internal class from one source set would not be available to be used in another source set.Unless you lived in a cave for the last two years, you probably noticed that Kotlin is here and going to stay for a long time. When it comes to a Maven project or a command line compilation, Andrey states:Įach compiler run, by default, is a separate module: all the binary dependencies will be treated as being not in the module being compiled at the moment.Īlso, a Gradle source set is a module, with the exception that the test source set can access the internal declarations of main. In IntelliJ IDEA, you can create several modules for a project and each of them can be responsible for its own framework. Modules allow you to combine several technologies and frameworks in one application. That is but I would like to complement this answer.Īccording to Andrey Breslav, the Lead Language Designer of Kotlin:Ī Kotlin module maps one-to-one to IntelliJ's module (iml-file). a set of files compiled with one invocation of the Ant task.From the Kotlin's documentation, a module is a set of Kotlin files compiled together:
