Publishing 100% Kotlin Projects to Maven Central
Raw
gistfile1.txt
Javadoc is a prerequisite for Maven Central sync.
Kotlin projects use KDoc and do not generate Javadoc by default.
An official tool called Dokka can be used to generate Javadoc from Kotlin projects. https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka
Putting it all together in Maven:
Add the JCenter repository where Dokka is hosted.
```
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<id>jcenter</id>
<name>JCenter</name>
<url>https://jcenter.bintray.com/</url>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
```
Add the Dokka plugin.
```
<plugins>
<!-- Other plugins specified here -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jetbrains.dokka</groupId>
<artifactId>dokka-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.9.13</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>pre-site</phase>
<goals>
<goal>javadocJar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
```
Modify the release plugin declaration to invoke Dokka before commit.
```
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<!-- Other plugins specified here -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5.3</version>
<configuration>
<goals>dokka:javadocJar deploy</goals>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
```
