  1. jenkins-rest

    Java client, built on top of jclouds, for working with Jenkins REST API

    Though, I definitely want to port over the GitHub and Jenkins libraries (at least). I've used multiple Java-based GitHub libraries along with the Jenkins REST wrapper library, and I feel that they leave much to be desired, IMHO. Plus, an idiomatic Kotlin version of these might actually turn out to be better overall. . . .

  3. apk-parser

    Apk parser for java (by AndroidDeveloperLB)

    In that case, why not take some abandoned library and re-publish it, making other people contribute to it? Example is this one which I've forked from here. It's a library to parse APK files without using the Android framework to do so. I used it on my own app (here) as it has advantages over what Android offers. Sadly it's archived and won't be updated anymore.

  5. java-simple-serial-connector

    Official jSSC (Java Simple Serial Connector) repository

    Do you mean scream3r's library or java-native's fork of it?

  6. jssc

    Java library for talking to serial ports (with added build support for maven, cmake, MSVC)

  7. SQLDelight

    SQLDelight - Generates typesafe Kotlin APIs from SQL

    Have you checked out SQLDelight? Apparently it also has Coroutines Extensions, as given in Jake Wharton's tweet (from two years ago):

  8. Caffeine

    A high performance caching library for Java

    Caffeine might benefit from an idiomatic Kotlin wrapper, similar in spirit to the Scala adapters.

  9. scaffeine

    Thin Scala wrapper for Caffeine (https://github.com/ben-manes/caffeine)

    Caffeine might benefit from an idiomatic Kotlin wrapper, similar in spirit to the Scala adapters.
