so @JvmField kinda generates metadata twice, once for kotlin and once for java?

What do you mean by

compatible with java

? You can assess Kotlin property from Java.

@JvmField

instructs compiler to define just a field instead of getter, setter and backing field.

I see, thank you

Do you want to get java field, i.e.

java.lang.reflect.Field

from java reflection or kotlin reflection? If latter, then this https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/reflection.html#interoperability-with-java-reflection may help.

no, just plainly accessing the field without getter

no, just plainly accessing the field without getter

Ah, I see, then yes, you need

@JvmField

to do so.

thank you!
