I'm trying to instantiate a java class class Builder<T extends Builder<T>>. In java, you just use new SpaceToBatchLayer.Builder(), however, Kotlin forces you to specify the type argument. Is there a way around this for interop w/ java?

pretty sure Kotlin doesn’t force you to specify the type argument if it can be inferred

[Shawn]

can you post a quick MCVE to see if there’s anything funky about your situation?

This is a known problem. You can look at the issue on the tracker, there are a couple of work-arounds there too: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-17186
