Is there a way to deprecate a java method but only when used from Kotlin? And still consider usages from Java as non-deprecated?

what is the use case for this

For instance doing things like

Preconditions.assertNotNull()

is good practice in Java. But in Kotlin proper type nullability is better

why not write this code in kotlin

Because in kotlin this kind of assertion is not required, nor should be used. Nullability should be declared in the type when writing kotlin code.

when public kotlin methods are used with non null types, the byte code adds a check to make sure they are non null

yes and that the point

what’s wrong with that

I want to discourage the use of this method in Kotlin, since the Kotlin compiler already do everything

you could probably write a lint check for that
