I have created a Kotlin enum and need to pass it's Java Class equivalent to `org.neo4j.ogm.typeconversion.EnumStringConverter`'s (Java library) constructor. This constructor takes a Class<? extends Enum>, which I cannot figure out how to get from my Kotlin enum.

I've tried MyEnum, MyEnum.javaClass and MyEnum::class all with/without companion object on MyEnum, all with different compile errors.

How do I get MyEnum's java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.Enum>?

Have you tried MyEnum::class.java?

The reason this happens is that x.javaClass means "the class of the instance x", eg. "hey".javaClass == java.lang.String. In your code MyEnum refers to the companion instance, and that's why you get the wrong class.
