for configuring my logger in classes i use MyClass::class.java.simpleName. I want to setup a logger for my kotlin file (no classes inside), can I get the FQN of the kotlin file somehow? e.g. com.example.stuff.UtilitiesKt?

Try MyClass::class.java.getCanonicalName()
Remember, by calling ::class.java you get access to all the methods defined in Class from Java library

Thanks for the hint. Any idea about getting the FQN of the kotlin file?

[spand]

Define a toplevel method and use: tlm.javaMethod!!.declaringClass.name

[frogger]

perfect thanks. From you answer I assume there is no "kotlin native" i.e. JVM independent way to access it, right?

[spand]

Not that I know of. I think at one point they wanted to introduce File and Package concepts in reflection but havent seen any of that yet.
