Kotlin stale dependencies Gradle plugin

A simple Gradle plugin to check stale dependencies in your Kotlin project. It has 2 types of rules:

• Unused dependency - dependency is unused in compile time and can be removed safely (or moved to runtime* to configurations)
• Transitive used dependency - dependency is used only for its transitive dependencies. Its better way to use this transitive dependencies explicitly (add it to compile* configuration)

Implementation notes

This plugin uses ASM to visit compiled Kotlin code so all check*StaleDependencies tasks depend on Kotlin compile tasks.

This plugin contains master-task checkStaleDependencies that depends on all check*StaleDependencies tasks. You should use this task if you want to fail your build in case of rules violations.

All check*StaleDependencies tasks support caching and incremental builds.
