Is it possible to have a property override Java interface method? As in

String getName()

in interface would be implemented by

val name: String

property. I get

same JVM signature

error, although this SO answer suggests that having the property

private

would solve the problem: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29268526/how-to-overcome-same-jvm-signature-error-when-implementing-a-java-interface

Don't you need to add

override

to it?

I tried all combinations

private/[]

and override, nothing worked

Apparently this is indeed not possible, and there is some discussion about this here: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-6653

That’s right, thanks! SO never ceases to amaze, how is an accepted answer completely wrong ;_;

class KtClass(private val name: String) : JInterface {
	override fun getName() = name
}

I use this in my code base, it's kinda hacky to my taste, but it works when I do not have control over the interface/parent.
