Quarkus extension written in Kotlin programming language

[b0ro]

I'm trying to write Quarkus extension in Kotlin and I'm not sure how to start.

I've already rewritten one service from Java to Kotlin and I know it's a matter of adding kotlin-extension as described in https://quarkus.io/guides/kotlin.

But what should I do when I want to write Quarkus extension in that language? Should I add dependency to kotlin-extension as well (is it even possible)? Or should I just add kotlin maven plugin?

There's some documentation here https://kotlinlang.org/docs/maven.html#specify-compiler-options but I'm not sure which approach is correct for my case. Do you have any code examples I could base on?

I've checked Quarkus documentation if there's any info on how to write Quarkus extension in Kotlin but I found nothing.

Just let me know if I'm asking for something too obvious :)

This is a very good question.

The Quarkus team does not have any examples, but theoretically it should work if you are using Maven and just add the proper compiler configuration and Kotlin dependency
