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

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
