How to add Dokka to Android project without additional classpath in the dependencies section?

Question

How to add Dokka documentation engine support to Android project without adding to dependencies section additional classpath. I have compatibility issues...

Dokka documentation suggests following, but it's classpath breaks my build..

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "org.jetbrains.dokka:dokka-android-gradle-plugin:0.9.17"
    }
}
apply plugin: 'org.jetbrains.dokka-android'

@Lino The value of the variable dokka_version = 0.9.17, updated post — Alexander Savin, Aug 05 '18 at 11:19

Only solution I could found:

EasyDokkaPlugin

Gradle script plugin to generate documentation by Dokka documentation engine in Javadoc format for Java, Kotlin, Android and non-Android projects. It's very easy, you don't need to add to dependencies section additional classpath or think about compatibility issues, you don't need additional repositories also.

Usage

1. Have a working Gradle build

It is up to you.

2. Call the script

Add the following at the end of build.gradle of each sub-module that you wish to generate documentation:

apply from: 'https://raw.github.com/Vorlonsoft/EasyDokkaPlugin/master/dokka.gradle'

3. Generate documentation

You can now generate documentation by Dokka documentation engine in Javadoc format:

$ gradle dokkaJavadocsJar

4. Get documentation

Get generated documentation from ${buildDir} directory.
