Hi I made a Kotlin project in Intellij. Kotlin files run just fine, however, when I create a java file I can't run it, giving me this error. Do I need to Edit Configurations for Java? I would assume you could run both..

I don't think you can put a Java file in the Kotlin directory/source set

Hey thanks I figured. How I solved this is by creating a Java project then enabling Kotlin Java Runtime Library. Now I can add both java and kotlin files and run them!

[nanodeath]

creating a src/main/java directory and activating the java plugin would also let you do that

I believe you can, but you need to configure it: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/gradle.html#targeting-javascript

gonna assume you meant https://kotlinlang.org/docs/gradle.html#kotlin-and-java-sources but good point. might be easier to create a new directory instead of modifying the build logic tho
