What’s the best way to define a constant in Kotlin with good Java interoperability? Right now I’ve defined the constant like this:

// MyClass.kt
@JvmField
val DEFAULT_FILTER: FilterObject = FilterObject.create()

class MyClass {…}

Problem is in Java I would have to use

MyClassKt.DEFAULT_FILTER

. I’d like to get rid of the

Kt

suffix. The

const

keyword only works for primitives and Strings. A companion object doesn’t work either, then it would look like this

MyClass.Companion.getDEFAULT_FILTER()

. What’s a better way?
