Documentation for mill-kotlin, a mill plugin to support the Kotlin language and compiler.
Mill version 0.7.0 or newer is required.
// Load the plugin from Maven Central via ivy/coursier
import $ivy.`de.tototec::de.tobiasroeser.mill.kotlin_mill0.11:0.3.0`
import mill._
import mill.scalalib._
import mill.define._
import de.tobiasroeser.mill.kotlin._
object main extends KotlinModule {
// Select the Kotlin version
def kotlinVersion = T{ "1.9.21" }
// Set additional Kotlin compiler options, e.g. the language level and annotation processor
// Run `mill main.kotlincHelp` to get a list of supported options
def kotlincOptions = super.kotlincOptions() ++ Seq("-verbose")
}To target the JVM (kotlin-jvm), our module needs to extend de.tobiasroeser.mill.kotlin.KotlinModule which itself extends mill.scalalib.JavaModule.
For convenience, you may derive your unit test projects from de.tobiasroeser.mill.kotlin.KotlinModule.Tests (or KotlinModuleTests) trait.
The module trait de.tobiasroeser.mill.kotlin.KotlinModule has the following configuration options (over those from mill.scalalib.JavaModule).
def kotlinVersion: T[String]-
The Kotlin version to be used (for API and Language level settings).
def kotlinCompilerVersion: T[String]-
The version of the Kotlin compiler to be used. Default is derived from
kotlinVersion. def compile: T[CompilationResult]-
Compiles all the sources to JVM class files.
def kotlincOptions: T[Seq[String]]-
Additional Kotlin compiler options to be use by
compile. def ivyDeps: T[Agg[Dep]]-
The compile and runtime dependencies.
def kotlincHelp(args: String*): Command[Unit]-
Runs the Kotlin compiler with the
-helpargument to show you the built-in cmdline help. You might want to add additional arguments like-Xto see extra help. def kotlinCompilerIvyDeps: T[Agg[Dep]]-
The Ivy/Coursier dependencies resembling the Kotlin compiler. Default is derived from
kotlinCompilerVersion. def kotlinCompilerClasspath: T[Seq[PathRef]]-
The Java classpath resembling the Kotlin compiler. Default is derived from
kotlinCompilerIvyDeps. trait Tests extends TestModule with KotlinTestModule-
A test sub-module linked to its parent module best suited for unit-tests.
Mixed Kotlin/Java projects are also supported. Java compilation is based on mills mill.scalalib.JavaModule and Java options are configured via javacOptions.
Mill is still in active development, and has no stable API yet. Hence, not all mill-kotlin versions work with every mill version.
The following table shows a matrix of compatible mill and mill-kotlin versions.
| mill-kotlin | mill |
|---|---|
0.3.0 |
0.7.0 - 0.11.x |
0.2.4 |
0.7.0 - 0.11.x |
0.2.3 |
0.7.0 - 0.11.x |
0.2.2 |
0.6.0 - 0.10.x |
0.2.1 |
0.6.0 - 0.9.x |
0.2.0 |
0.6.0 - 0.9.x |
0.1.1 |
0.6.0 - 0.9.6 |
0.1.0 |
0.6.0 - 0.8.0 |
0.0.3 |
0.6.0 - 0.6.1 |
0.0.2 |
0.5.7 |
0.0.1 |
0.5.7 |
To ensure some basic compatibility, there are some integration tests in place. Newer mill versions may work as well.
If you need support for other versions, please create an issue.
You can download binary releases from Maven Central.
Please make sure to use the correct mill platform suffix matching your used mill version.
| mill version | mill platform | suffix | example |
|---|---|---|---|
0.11.x |
0.11 |
|
|
0.10.x |
0.10 |

Mill is a Scala-based open source build tool. In my opinion the best build tool for the JVM. It is fast, reliable and easy to understand.

Introduced a shared worker cache to speed up compilation and reduce memory usage

Internal improvements and dependency updates
See milstone 0.2.4 and the list of commits
-
Added support for Mill 0.11.x
-
Various internal improvements and version updates

Support for newer Mill versions including 0.10.0
See milstone main and the list of commits
-
Improved integration test suite
-
Various dependency version updates

-
Overall fixes and improvements
-
Enhanced integration test setup to detect Kotlin version differences
-
Proper support for Kotlin 1.3 and 1.4
-
Limited support for older Kotlin 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2
These versions may work for you, but I haven’t found a stable integration test setup that works reliable for all these Kotlin releases on different platforms and different Java versions. If you know what you’re doing, all integration points are configurable, so these versions should work after same tweaking. Feedback and pull requests are highly appreciated.
