Kt public property is private in java
Anyone who could help ?

having following code
```@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4::class)
class XYZKt {
    @Rule
    val emojiTestRule = EmojiTestRule()

    @Test
    fun testZ() {
        println("X")
    }
}```
after decompiling it's
```public final class XYZKt {
   @Rule
   @NotNull
   private final EmojiTestRule emojiTestRule = new EmojiTestRule();

   ...
}```
And JUnit is failing, because that Rule field is private,
is there a way how to force it to make it public ?

having same test written in java works just fine

```@get:Rule
val emojiTestRule = EmojiTestRule()```
will not work fine?

it sames following code in Java.
```public final class XYZKt {
   @NotNull
   private final EmojiTestRule emojiTestRule = new EmojiTestRule();
   ...

   @Rule
   public EmojiTestRule getEmojiTestRule() {
        return emojiTestRule;
    }
}```

Kotlin properties compile to a private field with a getter (and setter in case of `var`). Only getter and setter will have the visibility you specify.
You can annotate your property with `@JvmField` to disable generation of getters/setters and only use a plain field.
