Using the new multi-release jar feature, store compiled module-info.class files into META-INF/versions/9 instead of the artifact root. Hopefully, this will break fewer tools which do not support module-info.class files because any sane tool should not do anything with files in META-INF because before Java 9 that directory only contained resources. Upgrade some Maven plugins to newer versions which do not fail on module-info.class files #KT-21266 In Progress
The Kotlin Standard Library
This module creates the standard library for Kotlin.
Notes for contributors
We use some code generation to generate the various utility extension function for the various collection-like types like arrays, strings, Collection<T>, Sequence<T>, Map<K, V> etc.
These sources are placed into generated folder and their names are prefixed with the underscore, for example generated/_Collections.kt
To run the code generator use the following command in the root directory of the project:
./gradlew :tools:kotlin-stdlib-gen:run
Note: on Windows type
gradlewwithout the leading./
This then runs the script which generates a significant part of stdlib sources from the templates authored with a special kotlin based DSL.
Usage samples
