I've got a few `fun` ideas for plugins using `MpApt` to solve some personal pain-points.

The one thing I'm curious about though is how interplay works between `MpApt`-powered plugins and other plugins.

Specific ideas/questions below:

Can I generate code and have `kotlinx.serialization` run on my generated code? I'd like to simplify some boilerplate I have to write for serializing enums to/from values other than their ordinal or name.

Is it possible to pass in things to `runDceKotlinJs.keep`? I'd like to read all usages of `@JsName` and automatically add them to Kotlin/JS DCE's keep list.

Hi <@U9EFM2M0V>, thank you for your questions:

I haven't used the keep list of runDceKotlinJs before. I wrote a Gist with the code which is able to find @JsName <https://gist.github.com/Foso/ca126f184378ff2afb98d29f5355ebff>
It should be possible to put the keep list in an extra gradle file. From inside the processor you would read the values and then overwrite this gradle file.

For serialization and generated code you could use KotlinPoet or just save a String to a file and save it inside your project folder.

Nice, I definitely know how to generate using KotlinPoet -- I just wasn't sure about if MpApt would be able to generate code before DCE or Serialization, or if it would happen afterward

I just released v0.8.4 <https://github.com/Foso/MpApt/releases/tag/0.8.4>

Hello here, I have an implementation of plugin based on MpApt and it generates the files I want, so I'm happy. Who isn't happy though is my code that depends on the generated files like this: `class MyHandwrittenClass : GeneratedClass()` . Sometimes it does compile (in 30% cases), sometimes it doesn't. I feel like the compiler and the plugin are racing each other. What can I do in this case?

I solved a problem with a dirty little hack: I moved the generated files and the annotated files to another module and made the main project depend on this new module

I just released v0.8.6, fixed a bug, processor for file annotations was called too often <https://github.com/Foso/MpApt>

Released MpApt 0.8.7, updated it to Kotlin 1.4.0 <https://github.com/Foso/MpApt|https://github.com/Foso/MpApt>

Does anybody know how to get MpApt working in Kotlin Mobile Multiplatform.

I can’t seem to get the AbstractProcessor visible in my code.
