In Gradle, the kotlin-spring compiler plugin can be enabled by using buildscript with the allopen artifact, as shown here:
buildscript { dependencies { classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-allopen:$kotlin_version" } } apply plugin: "kotlin-spring"
Alternatively, the plugin can be enabled using plugins as follows:
plugins { id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.spring" version "1.2.41" }
This plugin specifies the following annotations:
- @Component
- @Transactional
- @Async
- @Cacheable
- @SpringBootTest
The classes that are annotated with these annotations are made open and accessible to the Spring framework so that we can create proxy objects.
