• kotlin

  • Including Kotlin in to an existing project

    • https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/using-gradle.html#plugin-and-versions
    • Add the gradle-kotlin plugin, add a source set config
      • Kotlin through #gradle seems to work with their instructions with no issue
    • IDE Support
      • #vscode
        • There is a Kotlin plugin, however current it doesn’t support using java in Kotlin https://github.com/fwcd/kotlin-language-server/issues/192 this is a must for interop programming
        • Errors about unresolved classes for the java stdlib (e.g. Object)
      • #Eclipse Eclipse has a plugins from #JetBrains themselves however I wasn’t able to get the interop working propertly either.
        • I could import #shermans_notes/knowledge/programming/java/_index to #kotlin however not the other way around.
        • had issues with compilation / recompilation of Kotlin files after certain ops, like file name / class changes
        • couldn’t run main #kotlin files either.
        • Errors about unresolved classes for the java stdlib (e.g. Object)
      • #IntelliJ
        • This being a #JetBrain product as well, it just worked.

  • Imported our gradle project and got off the bat right away no class path issues.
