Kotlin scripts with JAR dependencies

I wonder if this is possible, I mean, without Gradle or Maven?

Yes, it is possible.

First, install the official Kotlin Scripting environment through SDK Man.

Then, just add the @file:DependsOn directive in the .kts script file e.g.:

@file:DependsOn("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-html-jvm:0.6.11")

Done

How do I install with SDK Man?

Thanks that it is an official support as well, though I don't know how well it would integrate with IntelliJ.

Kotlin support in VSCode is horrible. Seems to be only syntax highlighting.

You've got everything that you've in regular Kotlin projects

Sure, try github.com/holgerbrandl/kscript

It works, but Java 8 is required... (Cannot use 11 or 14)

Fortunately, it is much easier (and safer?) to switch Java on Linux than on macOS.

Cool, it even has --idea support. (That is, full IDE suggestion.)
