In Koltin/Java how to force a local project class to be overridden with a class of the same name from a Maven dependency?
I have a class A which exists in package com.A

I want to keep this class as a type-safe place holder and then override it with a class of the same name com.A and generic parameterization A, which is located in a maven dependency which the project references.

Kotlin code:

so in the main project we have:

package com

class A{}


and in the dependancy project we have:

package com

class A{
fun extraStuff(){
// ...
}
}


Currently the project is using the local class only...
