Kotlin enums definitely extend java.lang.Enum, can you post your code and error message?

[Geir]

Apologies, I should have included "assumption" in that statement. I just couldn't get it to compile and, assumed.

I'm trying to extend org.neo4j.ogm.typeconversion.EnumConverter which has the constructor public EnumStringConverter(Class<? extends Enum> enumClass).

This is as close as I've gotten, but still compile error:

enum class MyEnum {
    ONE, TWO

    companion object
}

class MyEnumStringConverter : org.neo4j.ogm.typeconversion.EnumStringConverter(MyEnum.javaClass)

Compile error:
Error:(10, 97) Kotlin: Type inference failed. Expected type mismatch: inferred type is Class<SecurityType.Companion> but Class<out Enum<(raw) Enum<*>>!>! was expected

I tried first without the MyEnum::class instead of MyEnum.javaClass which gave this compiler error:
Error:(15, 80) Kotlin: Type mismatch: inferred type is KClass<MyEnum> but Class<out Enum<(raw) Enum<*>>!>! was expected

And MyEnum.. as well as all above with and without companion object

So, how do I get a Kotlin enum's Class<? extends java.lang.Enum>?

thanks!
