So that way, both from java and kotlin i would use same package and same class name (consistency problem)

Why you don’t add java method if it’s your class ?

Seems like this requires

.class

file merging, don’t know if is it possible.

I do not want to maintain both classes and I want to use it as an extension in kt classes

Seems like you cannot use the trick

@file:JvmName("ViewUtil")

, the compiler will complain the Java class saying

duplicate class found

Exactly, but im wondering if that is possible. Maybe i should ask #language-proposals

That would require the compiler to merge the two generated

.class

files, which is what I mentioned above.
