Is kapt supported in maven?

Question

Is it possible to run kapt (kotlin annotation processing) in a maven based project?

If yes how do I integrate kapt in maven build system?

Answer 1

Since Kotlin 1.1.2 there is now support for both Gradle and Maven to run the KAPT plugins. This is documented in Using Kotlin annotation processing tool where it says to:

Add an execution of the kapt goal from kotlin-maven-plugin before compile:

    kapt
    
        kapt
    
    
        
            src/main/kotlin
            src/main/java
        
        
            
            
                com.google.dagger
                dagger-compiler
