Since new is not a keyword in kotlin, i can have the following function in kotlin.
fun new(): String {
return "just returns some string"
}
But i am unable to call this function from java since new is a keyword in java. I would like to know if there is some alias for this function in java realm. I did not find any intellij suggestions that might be a possible alias to this function.
Edit 1:
I have written the following code in kotlin:
fun new(): String {
return "just returns some string"
}
fun main(args:Array){
new()
}
And I had a look at the java bytecode. It was as follows.
// ================MainKt.class =================
// class version 50.0 (50)
// access flags 0x31
public final class MainKt {
// access flags 0x19

MainKt
And here is the bytecode decompiled to java:
import kotlin.Metadata;
import kotlin.jvm.internal.Intrinsics;
import org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull;
@Metadata(
mv = {1, 1, 6},
bv = {1, 0, 1},
k = 2,
d1 = {"\u0000\u0014\n\u0000\n\u0002\u0010\u0002\n\u0000\n\u0002\u0010\u0011\n\u0002\u0010\u000e\n\u0002\b\u0003\u001a\u0019\u0010\u0000\u001a\u00020\u00012\f\u0010\u0002\u001a\b\u0012\u0004\u0012\u00020\u00040\u0003¢\u0006\u0002\u0010\u0005\u001a\u0006\u0010\u0006\u001a\u00020\u0004¨\u0006\u0007"},
d2 = {"main", "", "args", "", "", "([Ljava/lang/String;)V", "new", "production sources for module Srinivas"}
)
public final class MainKt {
@NotNull
public static final String new() {
return "just returns some string";
}
public static final void main(@NotNull String[] args) {
Intrinsics.checkParameterIsNotNull(args, "args");
new();
}
}
It appears that writing a function named new is a valid java bytecode. But javac is not letting me compile the code. Is there some annotation or compiler flag I can enable to get javac to compile the java file with call to this function.

Since you're trying to use a keyword the compiler won't allow you to use it as a method name
The only workaround I can think is to do something like:
fun new(): String {
return "just returns some string"
}
fun notAKeyWord() = new()
So you can use WhatEverKt.notAKeyWord() from your java code
