I looked at the source and it seems it pretty much only adds a normal dependency so I got curious, why distribute it as a compiler plugin? Genuinely curious, not complaining 👍 |

It adds two dependencies: the runtime APIs as a normal dependency and the Jetpack Compose Kotlin compiler plugin. It also enables the stub generation behavior of the Compose compiler plugin when targeting Kotlin/JS. It's the same reason that JetBrains Compose and Jetpack Compose (via AGP) are Gradle plugins. There's multiple things to set up. |
