You can publish a Java or Kotlin library built with Gradle on Maven Central like this. First setup your Gradle build to produce a valid bundle for Maven Central. Include the Maven Publish Plugin in your build. Setup building of Javadoc and Source archives using Dokka. Set the required POM metadata in Gradle like this. See here for a complete working example. Now you can run gradle publish to create the Maven bundle in the mavenPublish directory (which you probably want to include in .

As I wrote a while ago, I have been trying different approaches for server-side HTML generation in Kotlin, with focus on good support for generating partials without a single root element (which is important for htmx). Given Kotlin’s good support for internal DSLs, I decided to explore that route, and try kotlinx.html and HtmlFlow. They both make great promises of encoding the entire HTML standard and enforce valid HTML at compile time.

I have been trying out htmx with Kotlin and http4k. To use htmx, you need some way of generating HTML on the server. In Kotlin, you have plenty of options, both Kotlin specific ones and everything from the broader Java/JVM ecosystem. There are two main categories here, template languages and internal DSLs. Given Kotlin’s good support for internal DSLs, I decided to explore that route, and try kotlinx.html and HtmlFlow. They both make great promises of encoding the entire HTML standard and enforce valid HTML at compile time.
