jdx kotlin

IDE equivalent: Fetch the Kotlin PSI sidecar (Kotlin sources)

Manage the Kotlin PSI sidecar: install the side-loaded compiler set so body/source/doc can serve Kotlin sources. Without it, Kotlin binaries still render via @Metadata and .kt queries degrade.

Usage#

jdx kotlin [<options>] <command> [<args>]...

Subcommands#

`jdx kotlin install`#

Download and verify the Kotlin PSI sidecar set (kotlin-compiler-embeddable plus its runtime jars, at pinned versions with SHA-1 verification) into <cache-dir>/kotlin. Jars already present are skipped without network; re-run resumes after a failure. Exits 5 when a download, checksum or write fails.

jdx kotlin install [<options>]

Option	Description
`--repo=<text>`	Maven repository base URL to fetch from (repeatable, e.g. --repo https://repo.example.com/maven2). Tried in flag order before Maven Central, which stays last as the fallback. Must be an http(s) URL.
`--force`	Re-download every jar even when present (repairs a corrupt sidecar that probes as installed but fails to initialise).
`--json`	Emit machine-readable JSON instead of human-readable text (same information, D-007).
`-h, --help`	Show this message and exit

Options#

Option	Description
`-h, --help`	Show this message and exit
