Description
In Zipkin, we are starting to use Wire, initially in tests, but perhaps more places over time. It would be nice to be able to generate Kotlin as we are rewriting our server code in Kotlin.
We would like to be able to do this even if we use Maven as our build tool.

Research direction
Start by locating the Maven plugin and its existing source-generation configuration, then trace how the plugin selects generated languages. Confirm how Kotlin generation is supported elsewhere in Wire before defining the Maven-facing change. Done means the Maven plugin can generate Kotlin output for a representative Wire input and its relevant checks pass.
