I wouldn't advise field hiding

That's not my concern, I just need a way to do it

I got resolution ambiguity when trying to do this in Kotlin

sorry, no idea, most quality analysis tools correctly complain about it in java, so , good luck (honestly new to kotlin so wouldn't have an idea either way)

also you say it's public and I think that type is mutable, which is a security issue if you're running on a shared jvm

and it's not thread safe

that said I can empathize with "I need to do it"

Well the parent class is not written by me

I figured

but why can't the subclass have a different name

and not be public

And I'm trying to convert a child class to Kotlin, but the child class uses this field hiding technique, so I'm trying to find a way to do it

yeah, I don't know, sorry

I'd consider just giving the field a different name

and accessing it with accessors

but, yeah, sorry, not of much help
