Simon Lebras enhanced the JetBrains/compose-hot-reload plugin by delivering two core features focused on Gradle build optimization and maintainability. He migrated the plugin to use Gradle’s isolated project access API, enabling compatibility with configuration caching and improving build performance and reliability. Simon also introduced support for Gradle’s isolated projects, exposing new APIs, adding smoke-test verification, and implementing property-based gating for controlled rollout. His work included refactoring for maintainability and planning deprecation for legacy APIs, ensuring backward compatibility. Throughout, Simon applied Kotlin, Java, and Gradle plugin development skills to address build isolation, configuration flexibility, and long-term project stability.

December 2025 monthly summary for JetBrains/compose-hot-reload. Delivered Gradle Isolated Projects Support with API exposure, smoke-test verification, and ongoing refactor to streamline implementation. Introduced property-based gating to enable controlled rollout and reduce risk. Simplified the Gradle isolated projects implementation to improve maintainability. Restored IsolatedProjectsEnabled with a deprecation plan to guide migration and ensure backward compatibility. This work enhances build isolation, configuration flexibility, and long-term maintainability, aligning with business value goals for robust hot-reload across large projects.
