Some aspects of FTL rely on a runtime which must be imported with:

import "github.com/block/ftl/go-runtime/ftl"

The easiest way to get started with Kotlin is to use the ftl-build-parent-kotlin parent POM. This will automatically include the FTL runtime as a dependency, and setup all required plugins:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>com.myproject</groupId>
    <artifactId>myproject</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

    <parent>
        <groupId>xyz.block.ftl</groupId>
        <artifactId>ftl-build-parent-kotlin</artifactId>
        <version>${ftl.version}</version>
    </parent>

</project>

If you do not want to use a parent pom then you can copy the plugins and dependencies from the parent pom into your own pom.

The easiest way to get started with Java is to use the ftl-build-parent-java parent POM. This will automatically include the FTL runtime as a dependency, and setup all required plugins:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>com.myproject</groupId>
    <artifactId>myproject</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

    <parent>
        <groupId>xyz.block.ftl</groupId>
        <artifactId>ftl-build-parent-java</artifactId>
        <version>${ftl.version}</version>
    </parent>

</project>

If you do not want to use a parent pom then you can copy the plugins and dependencies from the parent pom into your own pom.
